Thames Tideway Tunnel
Kensington and Chelsea Council approved temporary public park use for a Thames Tideway Tunnel site.
Kensington and Chelsea Council's Planning Applications Committee approved the temporary conversion of Cremorne Wharf Depot Foreshore, a safeguarded wharf, into a public park in April 2026. This site, previously used for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project, will offer residents a new green space for five years, moving from its waste management function.
The Thames Tideway Tunnel, a major infrastructure project to build a 25km 'super sewer' under the River Thames to prevent sewage overflows, has no further discussions currently scheduled at local council meetings.
