We work with our partners to deliver new public realm projects to enhance London’s West End.
Delivered by New West End Company in partnership with Westminster City Council, Transport for London, Publica, NRP and FM Conway-WSP and supported by major Bond Street retailers and property owners, the project has completely transformed the public space across Old and New Bond Street, helping strengthen its position as the global centre of luxury retail.
Watch the video showing the project works and completion below.
Delivery is now in the final complex stages and once fully operational it is expected to serve around 200 million passengers a year. It is due to be completed this year.
The Elizabeth line marks the beginning of a new era for the West End and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to transform public realm in the area to strengthen its position as the number one global retail and leisure destination.
In September 2021 the newly transformed gardens were opened to the public with a beautiful new design and planting. The new scheme for the gardens includes musical railings, a water feature, and festive lighting.
The pedestrian space has been improved to ensure it can accommodate the increase in pedestrian movement expected with the opening of the Elizabeth line station at Hanover Square.
Publica produced the vision and concept design for Hanover Square for Westminster City Council, collaborating with Norman Rourke Pryme, Dr Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, and WSP-PB.

‘New West End Garden’ was designed and produced by award-winning garden designer Kate Gould and was showcased at the 2018 RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The garden transformed an urban side street off Oxford Street into a people-friendly green space for workers, residents and visitors to enjoy.
The garden vastly improved the area showing an increase of 47% of people walking through the street and 64% increase in self-reported wellbeing by visitors.
In 2021 the garden was removed to make way for a more permanent feature and New West End Company donated the trees to the local community. The trees found happy homes in a local school, nursery and community centre.
