Last year we asked for your thoughts on some outline designs that could revitalise the Fountain Roundabout and the green space outside Kingston Environment Centre. 

As a key gateway into New Malden, we are committed to ensuring we deliver a design that benefits pedestrians, cyclists and road users, with consideration for landscaping options following this. We will continue to consider all feedback received, as well as road safety and other data from Transport for London and other sources, as we look to improve this important site for everyone. 

This work is at a very early stage. Any future proposals will be shared with the community for their views before implementing any changes.

On 28 November, a special meeting of the New and Old Malden Neighbourhood Committee was called by the Committee about the Fountain Roundabout. You can view the committee papers and watch the live stream on the council's website.

Overview

In July 2023 Hayatsu Architects, Hortus Collective and 121 Collective won the 'A Gateway to New Malden’ design competition. The competition asked for designs to address challenges and opportunities at the site of the Fountain Roundabout and adjacent land in front of Kingston Environment Centre.

This location is a key gateway to the town centre and this programme will seek to improve the environment for pedestrians and cyclists, enhance the offering of green space; increase biodiversity and improve the fountain, currently located on Fountain Roundabout.
