We are proposing to use the foreshore of the River Thames adjacent to King Edward Memorial Park for construction work, and to accommodate permanent structures required to operate the main tunnel. The site would be used to connect the existing local CSO, known as the North East Storm Relief CSO, to the main tunnel. An area within King Edward Memorial Park would also be used temporarily for our construction works.
The location of the site is shown below. Part of the site would be located within the foreshore of the River Thames, with the remainder of the site located within the multi-purpose sports area and park depot in the south western corner of King Edward Memorial Park. The Thames Path runs along the riverside and is located within the site. To the north of the park is The Highway (A1203). Free Trade Wharf, an apartment block, is located to the east. To the south is Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre and apartment blocks and to the west is Glamis Road. The site is within the Wapping Wall Conservation Area.
