Foreword Nine Elms is undergoing a spectacular and radical transformation from inner city twilight zone to shining example of world class urban redevelopment creating a new landmark riverside district for Central London. I am proud that our development at Embassy Gardens is to be the centrepiece of the new Nine Elms. In the course of the last twenty years, we at Ballymore have been involved in some of the most iconic and successful urban regeneration schemes in London. But in many ways, this is our most exciting and prestigious project to date. To find an outstanding development opportunity at the very heart of London in the twenty first century, is close to miraculous. It has given us the opportunity to create a unique living and working environment, with a lasting impact on Central London. So as well as being a source of pride, it gives us a great sense of responsibility to create buildings worthy of their setting. This is undoubtedly the most exciting new chapter in the story of riverside London and quite possibly the last time the Capital will see the creation of a completely new district, where none existed before.

NINE ELMS: AN EXTRAORDINARY REGENERATION STORY
The South Bank is the most exciting urban regeneration project that London has ever seen. Over thirty years, the area has been transformed into a new district combining the best of culture, retail and business in a formerly under-utilised swathe of the central London riverside. With the transformation of Nine Elms, the area linking Vauxhall and Battersea, that project is finally complete.
15
ON E E M BA SSY GA R DE NS
London’s Third City Centre Dubbed ‘London’s third city centre’, The South Bank has seen a constant stream of landmark cultural activities and development successes, evolving it into a world-class destination. The district of Nine Elms is the last piece in the South Bank puzzle, transforming this previously industrial landscape into a hub of activity.

A lush kilometre of open green space, Linear Park offers a peaceful and beautiful way to walk through the area.

Linear Park offers an experience unlike any other park in the world, choreographing nature, play and art in groundbreaking ways. There is a picturesque central pond with a plank-decked bridge, while sunken lawns provide opportunities for sports and communal events. A wealth of tree varieties are thoughtfully planted with the longterm evolution of the park in mind. A trail of significant contemporary artworks confirms this legacy.

Sean Mulryan, Chairman and Group Chief Executive of the Ballymore Group, has worked closely with curator and art historian Sir Norman Rosenthal to devise Embassy Garden’s contribution to the constellation of art that defines the South Bank. Inspired by the work of the Public Art Fund project in New York, they are working to ensure that Linear Park harnesses the great energy of British art. A series of major new sculptures from leading British artists will offer a contemporary counterpoint to the statues and monuments of London’s other green spaces.
