We’re pleased to share the news that the redevelopment of Grosvenor Square has been approved by Westminster City Council.
Designed by architects Tonkin Liu, together with renowned horticulturalist Nigel Dunnett and ecologist Gary Grant, Equals have been fulfilling the role of design manager, working alongside Tonkin Liu since the project’s inception.
The renewed garden will celebrate and restore the square’s historic features, and introduce new elements including:
- A shaded garden showcasing biodiverse planting and providing new walkways to explore
- A central open garden re-instating the original 1720s oval shape
- Flowering entryways, providing wildlife habitats and a sense of calm for visitors
- Waterfall canopies, wetlands and channels capturing and storing rainwater for re-use
- New play spaces and an education centre.
