Blakedown Landscapes appointed lead on Eagle Brewery Wharf transformation
Blakedown Landscapes is named as the principal contractor ‘transforming’ Eagle Brewery Wharf along Kingston’s riverside.
Improvement works to the public realm will be delivered in partnership with the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and Kingston First,
The project will introduce a new play trail featuring stepping logs, climbing ropes, a balancing beam, public seating, and new lighting.
Other features include new metal railings along the riverfront. There will also be a focus on nature with trees, shrubs, and herbaceous beds to be planted. The landscaping and civil engineering specialists will take on the vision developed in 2023 by local residents, businesses and community groups.
Managing director of Blackdown Landscapes, Chris Wellbelove, says he is “looking forward to transforming this space.”
The project aligns with the council’s prior commitment to improve Kingston’s public spaces and facilitate accessibility to nature.
Eagle Brewery Wharf is set to reopen this summer.
