Project Overview
The Grade II listed Old Post Office, in the heart of Kingston-upon-Thames, formed the focus of JTP’s regeneration of this prominent town centre site.
Located within Kingston’s historic Eden Quarter, much of The Royal Exchange has lain derelict since the 1980’s, when a new relief road severed the historic urban fabric of the site from the surrounding streets, and the Telephone Exchange became obsolete as a result of technological advances.
The site offers the opportunity to regenerate the town centre, bringing back into active use two ‘at risk’ Grade II listed buildings as part of a new mixed use hub for Kingston, with new homes, shops, restaurants, offices and community space, as well as over half an acre of landscaped public realm.
