Burlington Gardens
Urban Design
An extensive redesign on Burlington Gardens has seen the area transformed into a civic space, while reinforcing its setting as the centre of the London art world. Burlington Gardens is part of a wider vision for ‘East Mayfair’ – a distinct urban quarter between Bond Street and Regent Street with a concentration of galleries, cultural and knowledge institutions, and specialist retail establishments.
Hanover Square
Urban Design
Gardens on Hanover Square reopen to public following transformation. The extensive redesign sees the square’s original 300-year-old vista recovered to create a green oasis in the heart of London’s West End.
