A WEST London development described as “Britain’s most exciting” new arts, cultural and business quarter is expected to be completed before the end of the year, the local authority has confirmed.

Hammersmith and Fulham Council’s Civic Campus development will see restaurants, rooftop bars with panoramic views and arts spaces created alongside new homes.

The project, which also includes the redevelopment of Hammersmith town hall and the delivery of work space, was granted approval in 2019. An anticipated opening in spring/summer 2022 was written in a later report.

Progress has however been hampered in large part due to an accident in 2022 which seriously injured two builders.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) previously reported that Council Leader Stephen Cowan said the incident, alongside pressures such as Brexit, had pushed work back “about a year”.
