Gunnersbury Park & Museum remain "committed" to rebuilding cafe after being destroyed by fire back in 2020.

The park say that it expects the redevelopment of the structure and base build to be completed by the end of this summer.

Gunnersbury Park & Museum's project team is collaborating closely with local authorities and fire and security safety experts to implement advanced security measures and fire prevention systems.

In addition, the organisation is currently working with Hounslow and Ealing councils and a number of consultants to develop the next phases of work and settle on an end use for the building.

"We are reviewing different options that will maximise the required spaces and the use of buildings in the park," it says.

"That involves exploring the existing buildings and spaces that will provide much required venues for a café facility, learning centre and holding different events that contribute our services and operations."

Gunnersbury Park & Museum are aiming to complete the rebuild and provide residents with "permanent coffee facility by 2025."

Despite the project not expected to finish until next year, Gunnersbury Park say it has set up mobile pop-up cafe services so that visitors can enjoy refreshments in the meantime.

The park and museum continues: "We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support we have received from the community during this challenging time. Thank you for your continued support."
