In 2021, we submitted proposals for the transformation of Grosvenor Square into an extraordinary urban garden with ground-breaking environmental credentials.
Our aim is to create an exceptional green space in the centre of London, supporting the West End’s revival and Mayfair’s residents, workers and visitors.
A shaded garden surrounding the perimeter will bring rich biodiverse planting and new habitats for wildlife. This will frame a central open garden celebrating the square’s original 1720s oval shape and new water features capturing and storing rainwater for reuse.
To ensure the designs met the priorities of local people and users of the square, they were informed by an extensive multi-year public consultation conducted online and in person. After gathering thousands of responses, the final phase of the programme concluded with 88% of participants supporting the detailed designs.
