Soaking Up The View

Developers are increasingly popularising raised podium gardens into new developments. We take a look at some exciting developments that are maximising space and the views of the surrounding area, to create peaceful and private gardens for residents.

Alongside an invigorated stretch of the high street – which will be home to all the amenities desired for modern life – a series of distinctive pedestrianised lanes and yards will reconnect the high street with the waterfront.

Creating a new foodie destination, Workhouse Dock, an existing but neglected mooring on the River Brent, will be rejuvenated with 24 hour moorings, and lined with restaurants, pubs and cafés, and new public realm including tiered seating terraces - providing another unique perspective across the water, a series of raised podium gardens will be interspersed throughout Workhouse Dock.

Adjacent to Workhouse Dock, Waterfront Square is a dedicated space for outdoor markets, performance and public events, designed to add to Brentford’s strong community feel.

An important commuter corridor into central London, trains from Brentford to London Waterloo take just 24 minutes, while nearby Boston Manor Underground station takes locals to Leicester Square within 32 minutes via the Piccadilly line.
