Hendon Waterside: A Modern Waterfront Community in North West London

Situated in Zone 3 adjacent to the spectacular 170-hectare Welsh Harp Reservoir, Hendon Waterside is a major 30-acre residential regeneration project in West Hendon. Developed by Barratt London in partnership with Metropolitan Thames Valley and Barnet Council, this masterplan beautifully transforms a former local authority housing estate into a modern, high-density community. The development reconnects the urban high street (The Broadway) to the waterfront across six phases, featuring an award-winning "modern vernacular" design. Buildings range from terraced streets and low-rise blocks to the landmark 26-storey Vista building, which offers panoramic views of the reservoir and the London skyline. With its diverse palette of brickwork and an "Outstanding" Built for Life commendation alongside a Building for a Healthy Life award, Hendon Waterside establishes a distinct, unified identity that flawlessly integrates with the natural landscape.

A Lifestyle of Wellness and Urban Convenience

Beyond housing, the scheme establishes a self-sustaining neighborhood that perfectly balances lakeside seclusion with rapid city access.

Health & Wellness: A dedicated residents' gym, an on-site health centre (GP surgery), and an interconnected network of green spaces including York Park and accessible green roof gardens.
Community & Leisure: A newly established primary school, a community centre, and rejuvenated Broadway offerings.
Everyday Convenience: On-site retail featuring a Co-op supermarket and Starbucks, alongside premium concierge services.
Nature & Biodiversity: Located next to a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), the landscape design by Gillespies incorporates native planting, sustainable urban drainage, and biodiverse "brown roofs" beneath solar panels. A new 175m-long footbridge and a secondary pedestrian bridge create a scenic loop walk around the reservoir.
