Thames Landscape Strategy - Hampton to Kew -

Kew & Brentford

Brentford Riverside
The TLS will continue to work in partnership, with plans for Brentford riverside to include works to Watermans Park linked to a proposed marina development and links between the Watermans Arts Centre and Ferry Quays. In addition, funding options and feasibility should be explored to install an access point into Syon Park from the Grand Union to link with the restoration of the Syon estate. The TLS is also contributing to the Brentford Area Action Plan, a planning framework being developed for Brentford Town Centre and Riverside by the London Borough of Hounslow.
The “Brentford a Waterway Town!” project is currently being written to capture the project ideas and rich heritage of the area.

Kew Riverside
It is proposed to establish a partnership of organisations to investigate the feasibility of major landscaping works to the Kew Gardens Car Park area. To include the establishment of the Brentford Ferry and a ‘figure of eight walk’ between Richmond and Kew Bridge through the Old Deer Park linking with Kew Gardens.

During 2008 a full ecological survey was carried out along the Kew Haha in Old Deer Park. Click on the items below to view the results.
