27 Nov Hammersmith Regeneration: Plans for the Western End of King Street
Hammersmith & Fulham Council has released details on the upcoming renovations for the western end of King Street, which will include a cinema, rooftop bar and affordable housing.
The council will kickstart the ambitious project by demolishing the Town Hall extension, while transforming the historic town hall building into an energy-efficient civic campus for the community.
The scheme boasts a new four-screen cinema, with room for cafes, shops and restaurants, 204 new homes of which 52 per cent will be classified as genuinely affordable for local residents, a public rooftop bar and restaurant, community art and event spaces, affordable, flexible office spaces for start-up businesses, public space for performances and events and homework spaces for children and students.
The inclusively designed buildings will ensure full access for disabled people and will be eco-friendly to minimise the Council’s carbon footprint. H&F Council will open up the Town Hall to the public, local start-up businesses and partner agencies to support their mission to modernise the council’s culture and deliver the best public services.
Cllr Stephen Cowan, Leader of the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, said “This is an important moment in our mission to revitalise Hammersmith because it will breathe new life into the western end of King Street.”
