Surf London, the proposed wave pool and surf destination in North London, has opened its public investment window following full planning approval from the London Borough of Enfield.
£60M Surf Park Planned for Lee Valley Site
The project is located at the Lee Valley Leisure Complex in Edmonton. According to Surf London, the 104-acre site will be redeveloped into a year-round active leisure facility centered around a surf lake. The company plans to use Endless Surf’s wave pool technology, citing its adaptability to the London wave pool’s physical conditions.
Surf London is operated by Crest Experiences, formerly The Wave Group Limited. Crest previously developed The Wave Bristol through Surf Bristol Limited.
The project is expected to cost £60m. If completed, it would be the first surf park of its kind located in a top-five global city, according to Crest.
Fundraising Campaign Now Live
Surf London stated that the current funding round will support final design work, aiming to begin construction in 2026. The campaign is hosted on Republic Europe and has already surpassed its initial £750,000 target. The company now seeks to raise approximately £2 million through public investment.
Investor benefits vary based on contribution levels and may include merchandise, VIP event access, and fixed ticket pricing for five years. The campaign is now open to the general public following a closed priority window.
“The appetite for investment into Surf London at this early stage demonstrates just how keenly anticipated this active leisure destination is,” said Hazel Geary, CEO of Crest Experiences. “The planning approval is just another level of confidence that this project is destined to bring a hugely valuable experience to Enfield. A big thank you to everyone who has invested in the priority window and we look forward to bringing all investors on the journey between now and our first waves.”
Next Steps
The project will now move to the Greater London Authority (GLA) for review. Crest expects the final planning steps to be completed by the end of 2025. Construction could begin in 2026.
