Cinema to showcase Hounslow regeneration

Big changes are afoot in the London Borough of Hounslow as a major mixed-use scheme known as the High Street Quarter development, is set to transform the borough’s town centre.

High Street Quarter will deliver a Cineworld multiplex cinema, along with a range of shops, restaurants and eateries, which will all be set around a new town square.

The project, being delivered by Barratt London and Wilson Bowden, will also include 528 homes, of which 41 per cent will be affordable.

The ten-screen multiplex cinema will include an IMAX screen and has been designed as a steel-framed structure.

BHC is fabricating, supplying and erecting 1,321t of hot rolled steelwork for the project, which equates to 3,234 individual pieces. The steel tonnage also includes a further 10t of cold rolled steelwork.

Barratt West London Managing Director Stephen Day said: “We are delighted to be delivering a project which will provide so many benefits to the people of Hounslow. Cineworld is the first confirmed company which will be operating from High Street Quarter and I look forward to welcoming many more big names.”

The cinema is set to be completed in early 2020.
