Cadogan has begun the £46M transformation of the iconic London fashion street which is set to be the most significant streetscape improvements since it was originally commissioned in the 18th Century.
The project will create a stunning green boulevard spanning from Knightsbridge to Sloane Square, due for completion at the end of 2024. The investment includes significant widening of the Street’s pavements, along with a magnificent planting scheme, elegant street furniture and enhanced lighting while subtly ‘designing in’ additional security measures, to create a more welcoming environment for pedestrians.
London architects John McAslan + Partners, whose recent work includes the transformation of King’s Cross Station, are leading on the public realm masterplan and the landscape, with planting overseen by multiple Chelsea Flower Show winner, Andy Sturgeon, who will follow a ‘royal’ colour palette of rich maroons, reds, purples and blues for the diverse and climate resilient mix of flowers, shrubs and over 100 new trees.
