Sustainable community investment project wins the New London Awards 2019. 

The first phase of a Camden masterplan providing 38 affordable and energy-efficient homes, Agar Grove Phase 1a, NW1 by Hawkins\Brown for LB Camden is the 2019 Overall Winner of the annual New London Awards, organised by New London Architecture and supported by the Mayor of London.   

29 projects have been announced as winners of this year’s New London Awards at the Guildhall. These projects not only reflect the high quality of design coming up in the capital, these projects are also selected because they deliver something positive for their local area or for London. 

John Burns, Chairman, Derwent London. John’s selection as New Londoner of the Year 2019 marks his retirement from Derwent London as Chief Executive, although he will remain Chairman. We recognise his contribution to the delivery of high-quality design and his commercial brilliance, but most of all his — and Simon’s — dedication to and faith in London, its character, its villages, its emerging businesses —particularly in design and tech — and its people. 

Winner of the new Hidden Hero Prize was 85-year old Nano McCaughan, who was involved from the very start in the Community Land Trust project in Lewisham to build 11 affordable homes, each home sold at a price linked to local wages. She visited many local residents and councils and with her strong determination put together a team to deliver the scheme. The Award was created to recognise individuals that make a significant contribution to the creation of great places, whose efforts often go unseen and unrecognised, yet without them we would not have the city we have today.
