The Scope of the Arcadia Project

London’s Arcadia spans from Richmond Hill down to and along the riverside from Teddington to Kew and includes the Ham Avenues.

The Arcadia project aims to open up and bring together the public spaces and the river to link and connect the major historical centres for the enjoyment by local residents, Londoners and Tourists for many years to come. This requires regenerating and managing the pathways, landscaped gardens, avenues and meadowlands throughout the area as well as supporting and managing the river environment with its associated wildlife.

Not only will Arcadia provide the cultural and educational benefits of a leading heritage site but it will also provide leisure and health benefits.

To make it possible to experience all that is on offer and encourage early evening usage at whatever pace, pathway links will be recreated and designed with the input of the local community, along with the imaginative use of lighting – all to be in keeping with the historic and natural treasures of the area.
