458 Forest Road, our project delivering 90 affordable homes for local first-time buyers with Pocket Living, is shortlisted for a RIBA London Award 2026.

Located in the London Borough of Waltham Forest, on a prominent site opposite Lloyd Park and the William Morris Gallery, the project provides high-quality one-bedroom homes designed to support long-term, sustainable urban living.

Communal spaces are integrated throughout the building to nurture community and wellbeing. Residents share two roof terraces with views across Lloyd Park and a south-facing courtyard.

The positive feedback from Pocket residents is testament to how the building is meeting the needs of local first-time buyers, providing a generous and carefully crafted place to call home.

Shortlisted projects will be visited by a regional jury, with winners announced in the spring.
