Prince of Wales Drive, London

Project

Location: Prince of Wales Drive, Battersea, London

Prince of Wales Drive is an iconic residential development moments from Battersea Park and Zone 1’s Battersea Power Station.
Spanning 2.5 acres of landscaped gardens, the site includes 926 contemporary apartments and world-class amenities such as a pool, residents’ cinema, and sky lounge. As part of its sustainability strategy, the developer integrated premium cycle storage from The Bike Storage Company—ensuring residents benefit from secure, efficient, and visually refined cycling facilities.

Project Overview

The proximity to major transport links and a growing commitment to active travel created strong demand for high-capacity, design-conscious bike storage. We were commissioned to deliver a comprehensive storage solution that combined practicality, architectural quality, and long-term durability.

Solo Vertical Bike Racks

Selected for their efficiency and adaptability, the Solo Vertical Bike Racks maximise storage capacity while maintaining a sleek, user-friendly design—perfectly suited to the building’s modern aesthetic.

Key Features

• Powder-coated to match the development’s interior palette.
• 10-year manufacturing warranty ensuring reliability and longevity.
• Manufactured from galvanised steel for maximum strength and weather resistance.
• Designed and made in Britain, reinforcing local craftsmanship and sustainability.

The vertical racks were installed with staggered heights to optimise density, supported by welded baseplates for added stability.

Two-Tier Bike Racks

To further enhance capacity, we installed Two-Tier Bike Racks—providing secure, space-saving storage for residents. These racks combine ease of use with high-density layout efficiency.

Key Features

• Modular and extendable to accommodate future capacity increases.
• Gas-assisted upper tier for effortless loading and unloading.
• Compatible with all standard bike types (up to 65 mm tyre width).
• BREEAM-compliant, supporting sustainability credits under the Code for Sustainable Homes.

Combined with Sheffield Cycle Stands on the lower channels, the racks provide flexible, user-friendly storage that encourages daily cycling while maximising available space.

50 mm × 50 mm Security Mesh Fencing

To secure the bike rooms, we supplied and installed tamper-proof 50×50 security mesh fencing—engineered for strength
and integration with the development’s design language.

Key Features

• Available in any RAL colour with durable polyester powder coating.
• Optional factory-welded panels to 50 mm SHS frameworks for superior rigidity and anti-tamper performance.
• Anchored securely to floor and soffit for complete stability.
• Multiple lock options to meet differing site requirements.

Results

• Secure and intuitive bike storage for over 900 apartments.
• Premium materials and British manufacturing reinforcing long-term reliability.
• Efficient, high-density layouts encouraging active commuting and sustainable living.
• Visually cohesive design aligning with the development’s architectural standard.
