The improvement scheme, funded by aristocratic landlords Cadogan working in partnership with Kensington & Chelsea council, widens the pavement by almost 25% on the eastern side, adds new plantings designed by Chelsea flower show multiple gold medal winner Andy Sturgeon, including around 100 trees and granite planters that double up as ”anti ram-raiding” obstacles, softer and more energy efficient lighting, and new street furniture.
Cadogan chief executive Hugh Seaborn, said the new upgraded environment for pedestrians “complements the luxury fashion houses on Sloane Street by making it more in keeping with the theatre of entering and leaving these stores.
Cllr Campbell said: “As we aim to make and keep our borough’s streets the best in London, the new and improved Sloane Street is the standout example in our amazing spaces programme.
A £46 million makeover of west London luxury boulevard Sloane Street to slow traffic and make it more pedestrian friendly is completed today after two year of work.
The two year programme of works brought lengthy disruption to the street but Seaborn said affected retailers had been helped by support including rent reductions in some cases.
