At 195 hectares, Nine Elms on the South Bank is by far the largest regeneration zone in central London and includes parts of the London boroughs of Wandsworth and Lambeth. The area includes more than 20 interconnected development sites which have begun to transform the face of this largely industrial district.
The interactive map above shows the extent of the regeneration area, stretching from Chelsea Bridge in the west, through East Battersea, Nine Elms and Vauxhall up through to Lambeth Bridge on Albert Embankment. The proximity to the rest of central London is evident, being less than a mile from the Houses of Parliament and easily accessible by tube, rail and bus networks.
The map also shows the major regeneration sites in various stages of development. Highlighting each site will reveal further information about the detailed plans for each development.

A word from the developer:
“Battersea Power Station is the greatest riverside development opportunity in central London. The redevelopment of the site will create 3,800 new homes (private and affordable), 160,000 sq m of new office space, 56,000 sq m of retail and covers nine hectares of public realm.
The masterplan’s vision is to form a new, cosmopolitan, 24-hour creative district, well connected to the City and the West End, where culture integrates with business and commerce.
A pedestrian high street and town square would be created, with space set aside for new shops, restaurants, bars, cafes, a hotel, cinema and other community uses.
A new section of the Thames Path is to be created along with a five acre riverside park immediately in front on the power station. Other outdoor recreation spaces would be provided as well as cycle paths and pedestrian walkways. A new passenger pier would also be created.
A new Northern line Tube station would be built on the site – connecting the western end of the regeneration area to the London Underground network.”

A word from the developer:
“The Garden at New Covent Garden Market brings together all market functions at New Covent Garden Market onto the main site. The plans include providing modern new market facilities for the existing tenant businesses and a new centre for food and flowers for London paid for by developing homes, shops, commercial space, a hotel and public open space on land not needed for the new market.
NCGM is the largest fresh produce market in the UK, with 200 tenant business employing over 2,500 people. In June 2012 Wandsworth Council resolved to grant planning permission for the redevelopment of the 57 acre site. CGMA’s plans bring together all market functions onto the main site in modern new buildings with a new internal road layout. Four new buildings are proposed for wholesalers and catering distributors providing more space than is currently let. There is a dedicated new building for the flower market and at the centre will be The Garden Heart, a building open to the public, hosting a range of food and flower-related activities.
Four development sites are freed up as a result of the new layout where new homes, shops, commercial space, a hotel will be developed alongside the proposed new ‘linear park’. The largest of these is the Northern Site, located just 400 metres from Vauxhall Cross. This will become a new city quarter in the centre of Vauxhall, with commercial space, shops, a hotel and 1,600 new homes and arranged around the new park .In March 2012 CGMA appointed announced VINCI and St Modwen (VSM) as their preferred development partner to deliver the regeneration. The Market itself will remain within CGMA’s ownership, paid for by the development partner in return for development rights on the other land. The development partner will then work closely with CGMA, engaging with tenants and other key stakeholders to finalise the plans and take forward through to delivery.”

A word from the developer:
“A landmark re-development of the existing 13 acre site, designed for Sainsbury’s and recently approved by Lambeth Council. The re-development will include a new larger store, 737 new homes, including affordable accommodation, and the provision of a new underground station forming part of the new Northern Line Extension. The residential part of the scheme will include buildings above the store and station, comprising a group of three residential towers. Further benefits include a series of mixed uses at ground level; a new pedestrian street giving access to New Covent Garden Market and extensive roof garden amenities for all residents.
Sainsbury’s was founded in 1869 and today operates over 1,000 stores, including 440 convenience stores and employs around 150,000 colleagues. We put our customers at the heart of everything we do. Our strong culture and values are part of our identity and integral to our success.
We have had a store at Nine Elms, Wandsworth Road, for almost thirty years and it is one of our most popular stores in south London. The redevelopment is an exciting opportunity to provide a new, larger and modern store that will give customers a much better shopping experience and a better range of products. We will be able to create 500 new jobs in store, which is more than we have on site at the moment. The scheme provides space for small businesses and community/retail uses, providing up to 290 further jobs.
We are excited that the designs will include better routes through the site, new play space and open space. It will be a gateway to the wider regeneration area and to the river. Sainsbury’s are committed to developing this scheme as soon as possible and will be announcing a preferred development partner in due course.”

A word from the developer:
“Vauxhall Square will be a striking, truly mixed-use, commercial and community hub: bringing much needed leisure and retail facilities to the heart of Vauxhall and creating a place where people want to live. Characterised by two elegant 50 storey towers, the development will provide important public realm improvements linking Vauxhall Square with the adjacent transport interchange, proposed Linear Park and creating a multi-use space at the scheme’s heart: Vauxhall’s first leisure focused public square since the 18th Century.
The scheme has recently been amended as part of the post-submission consultation to increase the size of the main public square, amount of affordable housing and office space while the number of hotel and student beds have reduced. The 4 screen cinema, restaurants, cafés and shops remain and the homeless hostel will be relocated to a new, modern purpose-built premises. It has now been granted planning consent by Lambeth Council.”

A word from the developer:
“The gasholder site represents one of the major regeneration opportunities in the Nine Elms Opportunity Area and its redevelopment will help link the major schemes planned to the east, including the Battersea Power Station proposals and the US Embassy site, with the existing communities to the west.
The site is ideally located for mixed-use development. It is easily accessible by train – Battersea Park station is immediately adjacent and Queenstown Road station is just a short walk away – as well as by bus, foot, cycle and car. Battersea Park, one of London’s green lungs, is just over 100 metres from the gasholders and the local community around the site is well established. Shops, schools, health facilities, cafés and restaurants are all within an easy walk.
National Grid, the owner of the gasholders, is working with Make, the internationally renowned architectural firm, to develop a mixed-use regeneration scheme for the site. Ultimately, these proposals will be taken forward with a joint venture partner.
Delivering homes, offices, shops and community facilities, as well as a gym, crèche, cafes, bars and restaurants, Make’s proposals maximise the potential offered by the site. Based on three separate cylindrical shaped buildings of varying heights – to echo the form of the existing gasholders – the development is focused on a large central public courtyard and communal residents’ gardens.
After more than 100 years in active use, the prominent gasholders that occupy a prime 2.1 hectares site at the junction of Prince of Wales Drive and Queenstown Road have now been decommissioned.
Demolition and remediation of the gasholder site is expected to be carried out in 2012/2013.”

“Eastbury House is located in a prime location on the South Bank of the River Thames, directly opposite Tate Britain. World renowned architects Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners have designed a high quality, mixed-use development, including apartments, offices and a cafe. The building is formed of three stepped bays, providing a dynamic skyline of varying heights.
At the base of the building, a four-storey public space will be created offering a café and access through to Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens via Tinworth Street. The height of this public space is on par with the neighbouring Rose Pub which is part of the Albert Embankment conservation area. This project will create a strong visual presence along the riverfront and act as a gateway to east Lambeth as well as a natural gathering space, overlooking Albert Embankment Gardens. This space will become a focus for both the general public and building occupants, whether they are residents, workers or simply passersby stopping to use the cafe.

“With the new architecturally stunning US Embassy at its heart and an enviable location on the banks of the Thames, Embassy Gardens represents a new era of residential development and neighbourhood planning: an entirely new waterside district in central London.
Master planned by eminent architect Sir Terry Farrell, Embassy Gardens will span more than 6 hectares and is strongly influenced by the architectural style of New York’s meatpacking district and London’s Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks to create a distinctive style for London’s newest landmark destination.
A key element of the overall masterplan for Nine Elms on the South Bank is the linear park which runs the length of Embassy Gardens and ends at Battersea Park. It will create beautiful, green open spaces, gardens and walkways delivering a unique combination of well thought-through landscaped outdoor space with inspiring building design and architectural excellence.
Stunning landscaped gardens, a riverfront walk offering enhanced access to the River Thames and the vibrancy of bars and restaurants will provide a variety of al fresco spaces for relaxation and enjoyment.”
