"The new plans show that operators Between the Bridges and designers Zap Architecture hope to turn the square into a revitalised 'piazza' that's 'vibrant' and 'sustainable'."
"They'd hope to build 45 modern, Borough Market-esque stalls with sustainable materials, solar panels on top, and storage tanks that turn rain into reusable drinking water."
"The designers hope to flip the ground floor of the Market House into a restaurant and café, and turn the first floor into an events space."
"To make more room for the ambitious modernisation, the architects plan to shift the 'obstacle' Queen Anne statue to the edge of the square."
Kingston's Ancient Market, one of London's oldest markets, is set for modernization. New plans propose transforming the square into a vibrant piazza with 45 sustainable stalls. The design includes solar panels and rainwater storage. The Market House will be refurbished into a restaurant and events space, with a potential roof terrace. The Queen Anne statue may be relocated to accommodate the changes. The goal is to create a bustling community space for pop-ups, farmers markets, and concerts.
