New Covent Garden Market images revealed
The latest images of the redevelopment of New Covent Garden Market have been revealed, showing all of the Market functions bought together onto the main site in four new market buildings along with a new Flower Market

The project, by Foster + Partners and Neil Tomlinson Architects, will create flexible spaces designed around the needs of tenants businesses and will accommodate mezzanine offices.

The plans also include more detailed information on how the additional sites not needed for the Market could be used. This includes the Northern Site (where the Flower Market is currently located) and where up to 1,800 homes, a new high quality hotel and serviced apartments, a supermarket and other retail/leisure uses along with more community facilities are proposed. Foster + Partners are developing the plans for this part of the site which include three taller buildings between 25 and 46 storeys and a green route running through the site which will connect through to the Mayor of London’s proposed new linear park from Vauxhall to Battersea Power Station.

Three other sites are also identifies to the South and West of the market – along Thessaly Road, opposite Lambeth College and next to the main entrance to the Market at Nine Elms Lane, where up to 500 new homes are also proposed with new community facilities and open spaces. An outline planning application is expected to be submitted to Wandsworth Council this summer.
