Overview

A new leisure centre for Kingston's town centre. 

Thank you to everyone who gave their feedback on the engagement for a new leisure centre for Kingston Town Centre. You can see the information boards for the engagement, and a summary of the feedback we received is available. The final designs reflect the comments received from the community, key stakeholders, the Design Review Panel and the planning authority.

In a significant change from the previous project, construction experts Pellikaan have been brought on board much earlier in the process to give better assurances around costs and programme as the project progresses to completion. Designed by award-winning architects Roberts Limbrick, the project continues to be overseen by Alliance Leisure, procured through the UK Leisure Framework, who have brought together the expertise needed to deliver the project, including project management from Hadron Consulting.

The proposals will create the range of activities that residents and stakeholders said they wanted to see, in an efficiently designed building that can be delivered within an affordable budget. Accessibility and inclusivity remain key features of the project, with new pedestrian links into the town centre and a range of landscaped public spaces throughout the scheme.

Next steps 

Should planning permission and committee approval be granted, it is envisaged that construction of the centre will start in Spring 2025, with the target for opening the new building in Spring 2027.
