Challenge

Victoria Tower Gardens lies at the heart of Westminster, bordered by the Houses of Parliament, the River Thames, Millbank and Lambeth Bridge. There has been a playground in the Gardens since 1923 when local philanthropist, Mr Henry Gage Spicer funded the installation of a large sandpit. A significant Phase I refurbishment project was undertaken at the playground during early 2013. The project included the installation of a sand pit, water play feature, boardwalk, swings, a slide and additional seating. Phase 2 is set to begin this year and Woodscape is looking forward to being part of this prestigious scheme once again.

Solution

The design of the gardens draws on imagery associated with the nearby River Thames and the history of Victoria Tower Gardens as a former shipping wharf. The versatile Woodscape Seat Type 1 was chosen for this scheme in both straight and curved configurations. Different heights of seating offer choices for different age groups of children and parents alike.

Benefit

Woodscape’s furniture offers a high-quality and modern finish for this scheme which has a heavy footfall of families due to being one of the only parks in the area.

Challenge

If your existing staircase is structurally sound, there is absolutely no reason to rebuild it. Not only is it costly but also you will be inconvenienced for days and possibly unable to access part of your home for at least a week. Neville Johnson can renovate every part of your staircase and, if you wish, replace your stair carpet with hardwearing oak treads.

Solution

Countryside Properties, Taylor Wimpey and Natta Building Woodscape has supplied a range of superb-quality hardwood street furniture for phase one of the scheme, to complement the exclusive nature of the development. Furniture includes benches, picnic sets and bollards as well as a unique retaining wall system developed to mould into the landscaped space.

Benefit

Hardwood is a construction material sourced from sustainable forests that renews itself naturally so it is in keeping with the consortiums plans for a sustainable development. It is also extremely robust with a life expectancy of around 100 years in UK ground conditions, vandal and fire resistant and requires very little maintenance, making our street-furniture the ideal long-term investment.
