A NEW CENTRE FOR LEWISHAM

A NEW GREEN
FUTURE FOR LEWISHAM
TOWN CENTRE

Together, we have the opportunity to create something special in Lewisham.

A new green district with a family park and wild meadow at its heart, sat on the rooftop of the new Lewisham Shopping Centre. Buzzing with places to gather, shop, play, eat, sing, dance, relax, live, and work. Providing thousands of much-needed homes and jobs, and pumping £160m into the local economy every year.

A green vision for Lewisham shaped by the people, that could only
happen here. 

The team behind this transformation, Landsec, have submitted a hybrid planning application - the first step in delivering a new centre for Lewisham. During the month of November Lewisham Council will consult on our proposals.

Help us make it a reality.

A NEW CENTRE FOR LEWISHAM
A new centre with:
A PARK AND MEADOW BIGGER THAN A FOOTBALL PITCH
A lush wild meadow on top of a completely reimagined shopping centre. Family playgrounds, over 300 new trees and thousands of plants with plenty of spaces to play, sit and relax.
A new centre with:
MORE CHOICE OF SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, CAFES AND BARS
We heard loud and clear that locals wanted more places to eat and drink. This new vision for Lewisham is filled with bustling shops, cafes, restaurants and bars open all day and into the night. Where the old Model Market used to be will be a brand-new street food square filled with places to eat from local independents. We will capture all the old spirit of the market in this new version, and even retain and reuse the bricks.
A new centre with:
THOUSANDS OF NEW JOBS AND A £160M BOOST TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY EVERY YEAR
A new centre with:
A NEW LIVE MUSIC AND CULTURAL VENUE
Lewisham has a proud music heritage through old music venues like The Odeon Cinema with iconic performancesfrom The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and David Bowie in the 60s and 70s. Today’s town centre doesn’t cater in the same way. A brand new 500 capacity music venue with multiple performance, rehearsal and production spaces for local creatives, will change all this.
A new centre with:
THREE NEW PUBLIC SQUARES
The Northern Square will be a dedicated social hub for the community with lots of areas to gather for events. Lots of greenery will fill this space and will be delivered in the first step of the new town centre.
A new centre with:
A REVAMPED NEW SHOPPING CENTRE
A new centre with:
THOUSANDS OF HOMES FOR ALL
Across the new district 1,700 new homes will be created with a minimum of 20% allocated for key workers and affordable rent. Alongside this a further 660 student and 445 co-living residences will be part of this new place.
A new centre with:
SAFER STREETS FOR WALKING AND CYCLING
The new town centre will have walking routes from street level up to the new meadow and beyond. The People’s Platform will allow you to pass all the way through along stairs, lifts and a viewing gallery. We’ll also be improving connections for pedestrians and cyclists between the High Street and into the Shopping Centre all the way over to Molesworth Street.
