Enhancing Our Waterway Environment

Our in-house architecture, planning, conservation and landscape design team plays an important role in the development of all of British Waterways London's major sites. King's Cross, London Docklands, the Regent's Canal, Paddington and Brentford have all recently undergone waterspace studies in order to identify each area's needs in terms of environmental and heritage conservation issues, development potential, recreation facilities and access.

This integrated approach to our sites, carried out in consultation with local businesses and communities, ensures that the future of our waterways is planned sensibly and sensitively before any work commences.
