"At the moment the wharf, which sits on top of the Thames Tideway Tunnel (aka the super sewer), is considered a wasteland. But following approval from Kensington and Chelsea's planning committee on April 28, it's set to be transformed into a public park."
"Around an acre in size, the space will be filled with seating, planting, trees, artwork and play areas. Plans show it divided into difference zones for activity, socialising and quiet time. A new pedestrian link to the Thames Path will also be created as part of the development through a part-demolition of the western boundary wall."
"Once complete, the new park will be open from 7.30am until dusk. The park won't be permanent, though. The plants and infrastructure will all be moveable to that the space can be used as a wharf again in the future."
"Meanwhile, another public space above the super sewer opened near Blackfriars Bridge in January; a new nature reserve was declared in west London back in March and a brand new garden opened in Regent's Park in April."
A wharf at Cremorne Wharf Depot Foreshore in Chelsea Riverside sits above the Thames Tideway Tunnel and is currently considered a wasteland. Approval from Kensington and Chelsea’s planning committee on April 28 enables transformation of the roughly one-acre area into a public park. The plan includes seating, planting, trees, artwork, and play areas, organized into zones for activity, socialising, and quiet time. A new pedestrian link to the Thames Path will be created through part-demolition of the western boundary wall. The park will operate from 7.30am until dusk. The plants and infrastructure will be moveable so the space can revert to wharf use in the future.
