Dickens Yard by St. George

Description

Dickens Yard, W5


London's most exciting new development.


The heart of Ealing is set for a major change with the proposed Dickens Yard development which will breathe life back into the surrounding area, creating a new vibrant urban quarter.


Dickens Yard, which is named after the builders' yard that used to occupy the site, will link three of Ealing's Victorian gems – the Town Hall, the Old Fire Station and the parish church of Christ the Saviour – with traffic-free streets lined with boutique shops and cafés. There will be three new public piazzas where markets, street theatre and jazz events can be held.


Dickens Yard will contain places where people can meet, chat and relax surrounded by landscaped squares, streets with trees, plants and sculpture. This would ensure that cultural life in Ealing, already thriving, will get a welcome boost. The 698 new apartments built above the ground level shops are designed to look out either over the active streets or onto quiet garden terraces.

St. George

St George specialises in high quality, mixed-use regeneration in London, partnering new homes, apartments and penthouses with retail and leisure amenities for residents.

These include schemes participating in the Government's 'Constructing Excellence' agenda, and in 2002 St George was the first property developer to win the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development.

The company is dedicated to creating sustainable communities that meet all customers' expectations for their lifestyle and opportunities in the capital. With an enthusiasm for urban density and vibrant, dynamic schemes that allow public access but are also sensitive to ecology, heritage, and the built environment in general, St George has created some of the most high profile locations in London today, many with riverside locations.

These desirable schemes have dramatically transformed large swathes of brownfield land in inner London, reviving the city landscape and riverside and establishing thriving new communities of new homes, apartments and penthouses.

Always striving for excellence, St George has consistently developed in scale and innovation. Using early experiences as a springboard, St George has grown from a relatively small scale housing developer, into London's largest and most sophisticated mixed-use developer that integrates sustainability into every facet of its schemes.
