We’re proudly refurbishing 11 railway arches at Kilburn Mews to provide a new mixed-use destination for the local community to enjoy. What was once a previously hidden space will soon become a place to champion local and small businesses, whilst bridging the gap between Kilburn station and Lovebridge Road. The development will include a new landscaped mews walkway and public space.

Energy efficient spaces
The arch units will feature new frontages and improved energy efficiency, utilising air source heat pumps for heating and cooling. This will provide more efficient space for tenants to occupy and lower overall operating utility costs thus significantly contributing to the decarbonisation of the infrastructure.
Working with the local community
The project was developed with the community and reflects ambitious aspirations for the area. A series of events and engagement models, including sessions with local secondary schools, targeted sessions with local community groups and businesses, and one-to-ones, ensured a broad range of participants. Significant female representation in the engagement process was crucial for the project, and this emphasis aimed to shape the area through development proposals, prioritising safety and addressing concerns of marginalised voices. The Mayor of London’s research programme on ‘Safety in Public Space: Women, Girls, and Gender Diverse People’ commended the project, considering it an exemplar. The gender balance within the project team was apparent through the level of decision-making.
Work is well underway with Morgan Sindall appointed as the main contractor and DK-CM as the architects. Target completion date is anticipated for the end of 2025.
