Share:

4 December

Riverstone, a provider of exceptional London living, has launched a truly unique space in Fulham, just off the Thames Path, Kingfisher Wharf. The riverside events and education venue for hire, opens in December and is a stunning contemporary space for the Fulham community.

Versatile and flexible, Kingfisher Wharf is a thoughtfully designed, light-filled venue, with a wildlife-friendly sedum roof. The Wharf enjoys breathtaking, panoramic views up and down the river and the cityscape beyond, with a connecting footbridge over the towpath.

Kingfisher Wharf comprises two distinct yet interconnecting spaces, The Studio and The Waterscape, which can be booked separately or together.

The Studio is an inspirational classroom or meeting space for up to four tables of eight people with a built-in interactive 65-inch screen and views to the south of the river, for a maximum of 32 people.

The Waterscape is a memorable event and entertainment space and the perfect place to host a wedding, special occasion, or corporate function, with live music until 11pm. Waterscape guests have access to The Deck, an al fresco standing area, that comes with the hire of The Waterscape.

The Deck provides a welcome break-out area which can be utilised during meetings, as a stunning backdrop for photographs, and an enchanting place to watch the sunset or take in the river views, day or night.

Kingfisher Wharf is fully operated and managed by Riverstone, creators of award-winning London residences. Riverstone Fulham is located adjacent to the Wharf on the Thames Path.

As part of Riverstone’s commitment to the local community and to learning through all stages of life, the objective was to create a vibrant new venue with a purpose-built learning environment for both Riverstone residents and the wider community.

Kingfisher Wharf lends itself to all manner of business, leisure and teaching activities, including academic talks and seminars, art, music, photography, wellness classes, corporate training, and sustainability and environmental sessions related to the local river ecology.

Kingfisher Wharf can operate seven days a week, including Bank Holidays. It holds a full alcohol licence and will partner with some of London’s leading event caterers.

The pricing structure gives a preferential discount to local education authority schools, along with competitive rates for general event hire for such a unique venue and location. The installation of a second footbridge in 2024 will increase the total venue capacity to 110 people.

Greg Mace, Chief Experience Officer at Riverstone comments, “We are excited to launch the Kingfisher Wharf, which is a unique new venue on the Thames. As well as being used for celebrations and events, the space has been designed with the latest AV equipment to support a range of intergenerational experiences based on education and learning.

Research has shown that social participation and a sense of community belonging improve both wellbeing and health in older adults, and when the participation takes the form of learning and education, the benefits are even greater. Riverstone looks forward to supporting local schools and other stakeholders for intergenerational projects across London, potentially with Kingfisher Wharf as a hub.”

Julian Mercer, Co-Founder of Riverstone said, “Kingfisher Wharf honours the rich history and heritage of the River Thames and we are delighted to be part of the revitalisation of the area. We look forward to opening our doors to the local community and helping to foster intergenerational connections and experiences in the area.”
Kingfisher Wharf will open in December 2023 and will be taking bookings for all events from today.
