This NLA Breakfast Talk presents the plans to refresh Regent Street that are currently underway to improve this key historic street of the West End.

In October, The Crown Estate and Westminster City Council unveiled new plans for Regent Street, helping to deliver their shared vision for a greener, cleaner, safer and more accessible West End.

Set to complete before Christmas, the plans will create approximately 5,000 square meters of additional space for pedestrians, reduce road space to a single vehicle lane in each direction, improve provisions for cyclists, and install new greenery and seating.

The new designs, which replace the temporary measures put in place following the outbreak of Covid-19, will be in place for an initial 18 month period – supporting the safe and sustainable re-opening of the West End and contributing to the continuing evolution of one of London’s most iconic and best loved destinations.
