KYN announces Hammersmith care home

KYN, London’s leading collection of residential and nursing care homes, has announced

the commencement of construction on a new care home in Hammersmith, located on

the River Thames. The development, named KYN Riverside, is scheduled to open in 2029.

Designed in collaboration with PRP Architects, KYN will transform a former office building

on Chancellor’s Road, situated between Fulham Reach Boat Club and Riverside Studios.

The redevelopment will upgrade the existing structure and create an elegant 45-bedroom

care home reflecting KYN’s trademark design approach.

The design will prioritise river views, with bedrooms and communal areas on each floor

orientated towards the Thames. A walled garden will provide seating and

dining areas for residents and their families, with direct access to the Thames Path.

The site extends to approximately half an acre and is located close to Hammersmith

Bridge and around 500 metres from the River Café.

KYN will continue to partner with esteemed interior designer Nina Campbell, with artwork

curated by Adam Ellis and landscape design by Randle Siddeley. The variety of spaces

will include large, vibrant areas for socialising and entertaining, as well as smaller semi-

private spaces that complement the individual rooms.

Consistent with the existing residences in the collection, KYN Riverside will feature

exceptional facilities, including The Great Room with garden access, the KYTH Spa and

Rehab Studio, Home Cinema and Library. This considered design creates a sense of community while providing residents with peaceful retreats, enhancing overall comfort

and wellbeing.

The development follows KYN’s ongoing expansion in London, including planned homes

in Kensington and Highgate, due for completion in 2028, alongside its existing homes in

Hurlingham and Bickley.

Caroline Naidoo, CEO at KYN, said: ‘At KYN, we are focused on redefining what later-life

care can look and feel like. We design homes that combine high-quality nursing and

residential care with thoughtful, residential environments that feel calm, private and

familiar, while still enabling connection and community.’
