North Woolwich Old Station

[James H]

Newly published decision by the Mayor of London:

The revised project looks to secure the Grade II listed Old North Woolwich Station and adjoining land as a future public workspace for artists, local residents and creative businesses, as part of an ambitious regeneration scheme for North Woolwich. The project originally envisaged acquisition of leasehold interests and in the station and adjoining land, but the decision by the freeholders of the station building (House Mill Trust) to place the building on the open market, puts a key part of the project at risk. However, it also presents a unique opportunity to secure the long-term future of the building, and to develop a project offering substantial community benefit. Purchasing the station building will mean further fundraising is required to undertake works to the site. Securing the freehold and adjacent leasehold interests of the site would make the site a more attractive proposition to relevant heritage and culturally focused funding bodies.
