Wandsworth Riverside Quarter is the last remaining substantial riverside
site in Wandsworth. Previously occupied by Shell UK, the site is
to be transformed into a mixed-use riverside development. The proposal
allows for private and affordable housing, all with river views,
commercial premises for employment use, and restaurants and shops
along the riverside frontage. A high regard for the existing and
future ecology of the site has created 'green' spaces including
intertidal terraces, green roofs and bird barges. The two tier riverside
walk links with existing pedestrian routes through Wandsworth and
connects both the informal and formal public open spaces created.
