Moving mountains

We didn’t quite move mountains, but we did move two rivers and a roundabout.

Where most people saw a congested roundabout, we saw an opportunity – a long term vision, underpinned by a long-term partnership approach.

It’s all in the mix

At Lewisham Gateway we worked in partnership to deliver over 1,000 new homes, new public space, and space for shops, restaurants, a gym, workspace and cinema.

A brighter future for Lewisham

Lewisham Gateway has improved connectivity and accessibility, providing safe pedestrian links from the town centre through to the main transport hub, giving it a long-term sustainable future and contributing positively to the wider regeneration of the area.

The power of partnership

Major area-wide regeneration like this is not something that can be achieved alone. It takes cooperation and the ideas and abilities of many different parties.

We’ve worked closely with the London Borough of Lewisham, Homes England, the Mayor of London, Transport for London, the local community, Get Living, and Balfour Beatty our construction partner amongst many others to make our vision at Lewisham a reality.
