LEWISHAM: IT'S MORE THAN A PLACE

Lewisham is just one of our places that's being shaped for its community, by its community. For business owners, residents, young people. For now, and for future generations to come.

 

While retaining the existing retail offer, the plans aim to deliver more than 1,700 new homes, over eight acres of public green space, a 500-capacity multi-purpose venue, and a new permanent home for the much-loved Model Market. Watch our new film to learn more about the journey.

OUR COMMUNITY CHARTER

We want to shift that perception and ensure that our communities are equipped and empowered to collaborate with us. If we trust one another, we can create fun, safe, beautiful and exciting places together.
