All private units face on to a new "London square", an attractive open space at the heart of the development which creatively integrates public permeability within a fully landscaped setting. The square leads to a new tree-lined boulevard through the site, which in turn leads out to the river, overlooking Kew Gardens beyond. Limestone, render and timber animate the facades and give them a warm, tactile quality.
