Residents, businesses, and community members gathered at Twickenham Rowing Club last night to mark progress on the much-anticipated regeneration of Twickenham Riverside.
With demolition nearing completion and visible progress on site, the event marked a remarkable five-month journey since project funding was approved in June.
Councillor Gareth Roberts, leader of Richmond Council, said: “We’re seeing plans turn into reality. Demolition is almost complete, and the site is being prepared for construction – but this is just the beginning.
“Next year will see even bigger milestones as the main building works begin and we start to see the Council’s vision for a vibrant, accessible riverside come to life.”
Hosted by delivery partner Kier alongside Richmond Council, the drop-in event allowed the community to meet contractors and councillors, view site visuals, ask questions and learn more about the subsequent phases of the project.
The regeneration of Twickenham Riverside will deliver:
New public spaces, including terraced lawns, gardens, children’s play areas and riverside seating
45 new homes – 50 per cent affordable – alongside new shops, a café and community spaces
Improved pedestrian and vehicle connections between King Street, Wharf Lane, Water Lane and the riverside
Councillor Jim Millard, lead member for finance, added: “A regeneration of this scale comes with many challenges, but we are meeting those head on, and are pleased to see real progress taking place – and keeping residents and businesses informed about what’s happening is a crucial part of this.
“This project is about opening up the riverside for the whole community to enjoy, and this event was a great chance to reflect on progress and share what’s next.”
Demolition is expected to finish early in the new year, followed by final site clearance. Main construction works are due to begin in spring 2026.
