Improving wellbeing with life at the water’s edge

The release of The Water Gardens brings further enhancements to White City Living, which was once a used as a retail warehouse space. Since starting work on site in August 2016, St James has delivered a staggering 83% gain in net biodiversity at White City Living by delivering the first phase of the new public park. White City Living offers a truly unique place to live, where nature and architecture work together in harmony, to create the city’s most inspiring new landscape for living.

Designed by renowned architects Patel Taylor, White City Living has been created to put nature first and foremost, by setting a rich variety of contemporary buildings in eight acres of beautiful landscaping water features. The Water Gardens have been inspired by the Japanese-British exhibition held in White City in 1910, which celebrated Japanese design; creating landscapes and pavilions within water to showcase exquisite ceramics.
