New Malden
Breathing new life into New Malden
New Malden is one of London’s most diverse yet least known neighbourhoods, rich in cultural diversity and heritage. The town is home to Europe’s largest Korean community, and has the potential to be a key London visitor destination, supporting London’s diverse cultural offer and city wide recovery post-pandemic.
We are working with residents to revitalise areas across the town centre, including exciting projects which will immediately benefit the local community. These new projects will create public spaces that everyone can enjoy, and will provide New Malden with a town centre that its cultural significance and unique offer deserves.
These projects include:
- Jubilee Square - a new public space, pocket park and pedestrian link way into Cocks Crescent, hosting a wide range of unique and cultural events for the local community
- The regeneration of the Fountain Roundabout (the ‘gateway’ to New Malden) and the creation of a new pocket park on the green space just northwest of it
- The regeneration of the underutilised Cocks Crescent site

Alongside this the Council's exciting sustainable transport agenda is improving accessibility in and around New Malden. The Go Cycle programme is designed to upgrade Kingston’s sustainable transport network and create safe and accessible routes that encourage people to walk and cycle, benefit local residents and support local businesses by improving connections. There are two Go Cycle routes in New Malden: the Beeline Way, from New Malden to Raynes Park, and a route from Kingston to New Malden that is currently under construction to transform walking and cycling facilities along this corridor.
