Green Park Gateway

The proposed Green Park Gateway public realm scheme will create a spectacular gateway to the West End, transforming the current confusing, cluttered, crowded and unwelcoming environment.

Green Park Gateway by Heart of London

Our Aim

The project will widen and declutter the footways, improving views along Piccadilly and towards landmark buildings, particularly The Ritz. It will also enhance the public realm on Arlington Street, Berkeley Street, Mayfair Place, and Stratton Street.

The specific proposals to create a spectacular arrival point to the West End include:

  • Widening and decluttering footways
  • Widening the existing pedestrian crossing
  • Narrowing traffic lanes and relocating the tour bus stop westwards to gain additional footway space
  • Improving footway width by removing street clutter
  • Relocating the tour bus kiosk to reduce congestion in front of the Green Park Station entrance on the northern side
  • Introducing uniform York stone and granite sett footways throughout
  • Creating a coherent lighting scheme for the area
  • Installing green roofs above the Green Park Station entrance and bus shelter
  • Planting new trees between The Ritz, Devonshire House, and adjacent buildings

This scheme completes the Piccadilly and Pall Mall 2012 two-way working public realm project.
