Great news – the next stage of our regeneration project in Kingston Upon Thames completed recently. The ‘Town Square’ co-working space in the former Calendars Restaurant is almost ready to take its first members. The Coworking and small business experts, Town Square Spaces will operate the hub on behalf of Kingston Council. They recently unveiled the new space alongside its vision for supporting local enterprise.
The modern workspace will have five small and medium offices. It also has a coworking space for up to 60 people, meeting rooms and an on-site cafe. Chawton Hill’s role as Principal Designer and Lead Consultant has seen us supporting the client with a safety and coordination role across the project since 2021.
Town Square Kingston is at the heart of Kingston’s Riverside regeneration delivering a new creative and knowledge quarter on Kingston’s riverside. This includes the Fusebox project, a new cultural space, managed and led by Kingston’s homegrown youth arts charity, Creative Youth.
Town Square Kingston is supported and delivered in partnership with the BIG South London programme. This South London-wide programme seeks to unlock knowledge-based economic growth in the area. It received funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. For more information on the centre, take a look at their website.
It’s been a pleasure to work with the project team, including: TPM Studios (Architect), Ridge and Partners (MEP Engineers), Pick Everard (Quantity Surveyor) and Osborn Associates (Fire Engineers).
We look forward to working with all involved on the final stages of this brilliant regeneration project at the heart of Kingston town centre. The next stage sees the team working on the former ‘Essence Nightclub’, to become another Town Square co-working space.
