Cineworld Hammersmith

In the next few weeks, you can expect to see the closing of the Cineworld Cinema in King Street. Many have used this for all our years of living in Hammersmith. This will mark the commencement of the Town Hall/King Street Regeneration Project. The revised and generally more popular mixed use scheme was approved back in November 2013. It will be a phased scheme providing replacement offices for the Council where the cinema is now, about 200 new residential units, a new public square with shops, restaurants and a new Curzon cinema. No doubt there will be publicity and more specific information on the programming of the project.  Watch this space!

I am also sorry to report that we are losing two of our best planning officers from the Hammersmith Team. Alison Coster has gone to the City of London Planning Office and Katherine Wood is going to the Greater London Authority (GLA). Katherine in particular has had to deal with some of the trickiest planning sites including the Town Hall, the Triangle Site and the Walkabout. They have both served us well and we wish them all the best in their careers.
