Solum has acquired £59m in funding from Natwest for the transformation of Walthamstow and Twickenham rail stations by building new
mixed-use developments.

The joint venture between Network Rail and Kier Property will develop 79 private apartments above an improved station car park in Walthamstow, whilst in Twickenham the funding is being used to build 115 new homes, new retail space, car parking, electric car charging points, and over 450 cycle spaces.

Peter Hughes, Director for Solum, said: “These developments will bring value to the underused station land at Walthamstow and Twickenham, significantly enhancing the area as a result. Our wider aim is to deliver high quality mixed-use destinations at train stations, which leave a legacy of enriched experiences for the community, whilst building much needed new homes.“

The new Twickenham station will feature lifts to the platforms, a significantly larger ticket office and new pedestrian links.
