As part of the final phase of works at Riverside Gardens, Bexley’s Placemaking team has been working closely with the contractor to re-purpose granite sets from Kensington and Chelsea embankment flood defence wall, re-using them in both Riverside Gardens and Walnut Tree Road to create playful features and additional seating.
The final piece is a columnar structure that will be carved by a skilled stonemason, Emma Louise Moore. The column will be shaped with wave and ripple patterns inspired by the estuarine forms seen along the local mudflats, offering a subtle reference to the site’s unique riverside character.
Catch artist Emma Louise Moore in action at Riverside Gardens over the next 2 weeks as she carefully shapes the granite.
A celebration of art, craft, and place!
