Exhibition Road
Project Centre is the lead highway, traffic and lighting engineering consultancy for the shared space scheme that will transform Exhibition Road into one of the most important public spaces in the heart of London’s most popular cultural district.
The Project is being developed and funded by the Councils of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and the City of Westminster, in partnership with the Mayor of London. The Project’s intent is to improve the area so that it is a comfortable and attractive place in which to live, work and visit.
As well as London’s landmark museums, Exhibition Road is where several world renowned institutions are situated and is the focus for the nation’s commitment to public education. It is home to 15,000 students and one of London’s busiest underground stations, used by 30 million people every year.
Project Centre has been involved with this project from its inception: the first phase examining the traffic flows in South Kensington in preparation for phase two, the single surface shared space scheme along the full length of the street from South Kensington station up to Hyde Park.
The Project is designed to upgrade the urban environment and improve access and safety for everyone. At the core of the current design is a seamless shared surface that does away with traditional kerbing. The use of high quality materials for the single surface along with street furniture and better lighting will help to make the Project world-class.
Project Centre has prepared detailed design drawings and is also responsible for new drainage, lighting and profiling the street.
