[New] Exciting Refurbishment Plans at Bishops Palace House/Riverside Walk

At Canadian and Portland we have been working hard this year on exciting plans for the refurbishment and enhancement of our building at Bishops Palace House/Riverside Walk.

The proposals aim to deliver some high-quality bar/restaurant space from the part of the property previously occupied by the Viper Rooms nightclub along with an additional restaurant with external seating at ground level directly above Chakra, Bill’s and Comptoir Libanais. The proposals will also deliver grade A office space from the refurbishment of the offices previously occupied by Russell-Cooke solicitors. We intend to make significant enhancements to the service yard to the rear of the property, the undercroft between Cote and the Bishop pub and the introduction of a new Art installation along the Riverside. https://www.kingston.gov.uk

The proposals will drastically improve the roofscape of the property as seen from Kingston Bridge and will bring the vibrancy of the Riverside level up through the building. The site will benefit from a new lift tower that will provide access to those with mobility issues, which the upper parts of the property currently lack. This lift tower will provide the entrance to the scheme for both the new bar/restaurants and offices directly from the Riverside.

The proposals will also strengthen and diversify the night-time economy by delivering a high quality bar/restaurant that will remain open later into the evening to provide the Town centre with a fantastic new destination the like of which Kingston doesn’t currently offer. Ultimately these proposals will deliver a mixed-use scheme with a truly exceptional location unrivalled anywhere else in South West London.
