Cremorne Wharf jetty and riverside walkway plans progress

Plans to rebuilt the Cremorne Wharf jetty and explore the potential for a new riverside walkway have progressed following a leadership team meeting at Kensington & Chelsea. The proposals form part of wider work to open up the stretch of the Thames to residents and visitors for “the first time in many years,” according to RBKC Council.

Leadership team agreed to progress plans to demolish the existing jetty, which is not accessible and no longer safe for public use, replacing it with a new structure of the same size. The new jetty would provide a riverside public space to sit alongside a proposed new open space at Cremorne Wharf, linking directly to a new river walkway.

Swift Bricks Become Law in Scotland to Protect Birds

Scotland introduces legislation requiring swift bricks in new buildings, aiming to protect declining bird populations and support urban biodiversity.

The walkway would extend the Thames Path between Cremorne Wharf and Cremorne Gardens, completing a continuous riverside route between Chelsea Creek and Lots Road Power Station, through Cremorne Gardens and Cheyne Walk. Both proposals will require the necessary planning and statutory approvals.

Options are being considered for a new walkway, including a route along the riverside to the east, and a raised walkway over the riverbed. Further design and consultation work will “help shape the final approach.”

The new Lots Road open space, undergoing the planning process, would be the first new council-owned space created since Westfield Park in the 1980s. If approved, it will include planting, seating, a drinking fountain, and ornamental entrance gates on Lots Road.

“The proposals would also support health and wellbeing, improve biodiversity and air quality, and bring more people into the area,” RBKC said in a press release.

Further design work needs to be carried out before any construction takes place, and the council says it is seeking the views of local residents.
