New Queens Park – design description
The stadium is to be built just over 2km North of current Loftus Road, near a major railway hub at Old Oak, where various railway connections (including subway) already exist. The 40,000-capacity stadium is planned as a driving force for complete regeneration of the district.
Overall the stadium is to be surrounded by completely new office and commercial outlets that are to give some 50,000 jobs and 24,000 new homes. The planned redevelopment should outgrow the famous Canary Wharf business centre.
To make such an impact a long-term partnership has to be made between the Hammersmith and Fulham council and Stadium Capital Development, who have already done a similar stadium relocation for Arsenal FC.
