Leonard Design Architects have worked with British Land over many years on several options for Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, including the submission of a planning application for a comprehensive interior refurbishment and extension to the centre, which would have added 100,000 sqft of retail area.
Surrey Quays now occupies a key location in British Land’s extensive Canada Water Masterplan and the role and context of the shopping centre is to change as the masterplan develops. Leonard Design Architects have explored many options to maintain the centre’s operation and serve the area’s diversifying population. The creation of an active outward facing frontage aids pedestrian circulation as the centre is partially demolished and will act as precursor to the proposed High Street to be delivered as part of the wider masterplan.
