The Collective Blackhorse Lane - The Standard Music Venue

The Royal Standard

The Blackhorse Lane Collective - consultation
















Good afternoon,

I wanted to provide you with an update on The Collective Blackhorse Lane. Since the last time we contacted you, we have been progressing our development proposals. Our proposals for a new mixed-use development at 1 Blackhorse Lane (formerly The Standard Music Venue), opposite Blackhorse Road Station, will include:

  • A c.500 sq m cultural venue with a capacity of c.350 people
  • 2 publicly accessible cafĂ©/bars
  • 300 privately rented and single occupancy co-living rooms
  • 208 secure cycle parking spaces
  • 45 new job opportunities (supported by the building operation)
  • 175 construction jobs
  • Ground + 9 floors with the music venue located on the basement level

To provide more details of the scheme and to gather local residents’ views on the proposals, we have recently launched a dedicated website (https://thecollectiveblackhorselane.com). A postal exhibition will also be sent out to nearby neighbours.

In addition, we are currently speaking to different local groups and organisations and drafting a dedicated Community Investment Programme for The Collective Blackhorse Lane. This programme will include a range of initiatives and partnership ideas with local stakeholders.

As always, we are particularly keen to speak with you to understand how our proposals could best align with local priorities. We would also very much welcome the opportunity for further discussions to help shape the detailed Community Investment Programme.

If you would like to discuss the proposals or the Community Investment Programme in more detail  through a video conference or phone call, please do not hesitate to contact us at thecollectiveblackhorse@kandaconsulting.co.uk or call 0203 900 3676.

Kind regards,

Timothy Chan

Another quick consultation and then Planning Application. Comments up to 21st July then the Planning App will be submitted. Its surprising how many shovel ready schemes are coming to the surface now the Government wants to get everyone back to work! 

This site has had a checkered history but it looks as if now it will happen. 300 more flats just beside the already at capacity Victoria Line - it can only end in tears!
