Battersea Exchange is the name for the development located on Patcham Terrace, it includes St Mary’s RC Primary School and the railway arches between Queenstown Road Station connecting through to Battersea Park Station.

You will have seen plenty of activity over the summer at Battersea Exchange. Demolition on site is now nearing completion. During the construction works we will provide regular updates on our progress to keep you informed on our programme and all works taking place on site. This is the first of our quarterly

newsletters which will be distributed to local residents surrounding the site.

The developer, Taylor Wimpey Central London and its contractors Midgard, are committed to working with the community throughout the construction of the site.

We would like to thank our neighbours for their patience and tolerance during the works that have already taken place. We will continue to make every effort to keep noise, dust and vibration to a minimum so as to reduce any undue impact on our neighbours.
