Woodhouse Urban Park
Woodhouse Urban Park is a key and fundamental feature of the regeneration of South Kilburn. It aims to make the area a better place to live, creating a real sense of place and belonging. Allen Scott worked collaboratively with Erect Architecture and the wider design team to engage and involve the community in the planning and design process. Brent Council’s new urban park officially opened to the public with a celebratory event in May 2016.
The project is an important and much-loved community hub within South Kilburn, and has been recognised through BALI (Principal Award Winner and Urban Regeneration Award 2016), RICS (Highly Commended 2017) and New London Architecture (Best Public Space 2017).
