One of London’s most luxurious streets is now even more elegant thanks to a two-year overhaul.
Pavements widened 23 percent, artistic planting, elegant street furniture and enhanced lighting all combine to create a welcoming, 1km-long ‘green boulevard’ to be enjoyed by local residents and visitors alike, which Cadogan delivered in partnership with Kensington and Chelsea Council, with the masterplan overseen by John McAslan + Partners.
‘Transforming this iconic street has been an exhilarating urban design endeavour,’ McAslan says. ‘Sloane Street’s generous width and architectural asymmetry allowed us to craft a grand boulevard with a dynamic, people-centric vision. Blending contextual sensitivity with bold creativity, we have enhanced well-being, increased dwell time, strengthened security, and eased traffic impact. Green infrastructure and a horticulturally driven design enrich biodiversity and ensure a lasting environmental legacy. The result is a dramatically elevated public realm – offering residents, visitors, and businesses an exceptional experience, now rivalling the grandeur of Avenue Montaigne in Paris and Via Condotti in Rome.’
