Open Day for Westwick Row Cohousing

This Open Day provides an opportunity to find out more about cohousing at Westwick Row and what is proposed, visit the site, and meet some of the existing members of the cohousing group.

TOWN and The Crown Estate submitted the planning application for Westwick Row in December 2025, following a codesign process involving people interested in cohousing here.At the Open Day we will be sharing the latest designs, home layouts, pricing, and the construction timeline for people potentially interested in purchasing a home in the cohousing community.

This is your chance to find out more about ```````Westwick Row and meet existing members of the cohousing group and others who are potentially interested in joining the community.

If you’re attending with someone, please book one ticket and add your guest’s details when prompted, rather than booking twice. (If you are interested as a professional rather than as a prospective purchaser and group member this is probably not the event for you but feel free to contact us separately.)
