Southmere Boat Club

00 were commissioned by Peabody in partnership with the YMCA to design and deliver a new boating club and storage facility on Southmere Lake in Thamesmead.

The Southmere Boat Club is being built as part of Peabody’s £225million regeneration of South Thamesmead, which will provide new homes, workspace, leisure and recreation opportunities.

The Boat Club will be operated by the YMCA whose mission is to support and develop young people, increasing their confidence, motivation and physical skills. The primary training and education focus will be for schools and youth centres locally and further afield to learn to sail and kayak.

The Boat Club received planning permission in October 2019 and is expected onsite soon, with a projected opening by summer 2021.

Programme: January 2018 to January 2023
