Derwent London is bringing forward plans to redevelop the site at 162 City Road in collaboration with Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and UCL. Our vision for the site includes providing new, contemporary employment space and complementary uses within world-class buildings. The redevelopment will comprise new areas of public realm, which will be designed to provide a positive contribution to the local area while preserving historic characteristics of the site.
Last year we presented our early vision for the site. Thank you to everyone who gave your feedback; it will help to shape our proposals as they progress.
We have spent the past months developing our design for 162 City Road and we’re now excited to share our progress at our upcoming public exhibition events, where we would welcome your feedback.
We are hosting three public exhibitions on the proposals at Vibast Community Centre, 167 Old St, EC1V 9NH:
Thursday 2nd March 2023, 3.00pm – 7.00pm
Thursday 9th March 2023, 3.00pm – 7.00pm
Saturday 11th March 2023, 12.00pm – 3.00pm
We encourage you to participate in the consultation so that we can ensure our proposals respond to community needs. If you cannot attend the exhibition, you can also view the proposals and share your feedback through ‘The Plans’ page on this website. We also invite you to provide your feedback through our online survey here .
