Fortnightly Sloane Street Residents’ Update

14 November 2024

The construction of tree pits and planters is at an advanced stage, as public realm works progress south, down the east side of the street. Resurfacing work has already taken place in two of the three sections of the street, with the final, central, section due to be complete by mid December. At the same time, paving and kerb laying continues, progressing well, now that Reach Active has completed its work on utilities upgrades. The removal of barriers in completed sections is already underway, and the northern and southern retail sections have already seen a reduction where footway works are complete. The removal will continue between now and the Christmas light switch-on as further work areas are finished. 

The latest figures on work completed to date are also included below.

Christmas Lights

MK Illumination has commenced the installation of the new Sloane Street Christmas Lighting scheme, on behalf of Cadogan. Please bear with us whilst these works are carried out in time for the Christmas Lights Switch-On event on Saturday 16th November 2024. If you do have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact mark.poole@cadogan.co.uk.

Directional closure of Sloane Street

Traffic continues to travel in a southbound direction down the west side of the street whilst public realm works take place to the eastern footway. A copy of the traffic management and associated diversion routes can be found here.

Road closures

Cadogan Place North remains closed whilst a new CCTV post is installed and connected. The road is expected to reopen in early December, once resurfacing work is complete.

The junction of Cadogan Place south is now closed until early December for the installation of the drinking water fountain. A mini compound will be established to allow FM Conway to work on the raised table across the road.

Temporary traffic lights at Pont Street

A temporary three-way traffic light system has been in operation at the junction with Pont Street since late July, to enable the construction of the new granite crossings at the junction with Sloane Street.

Transport for London has been upgrading the signalling infrastructure in preparation for the installation of the new traffic lights for the final completed scheme. The last column for the permanent lighting is anticipated to be installed this week. TfL will then complete the connections, with a date for this yet to be confirmed.

Bus services

The bus stop outside of Holy Trinity Church has been reopened, following the completion of recent resurfacing works in this area. Bus stop H has also reopened towards Battersea, Chelsea & Knightsbridge following the completion of gas works.

Stop KL, adjacent to Pont Street, is currently suspended, and will reopen following the completion of resurfacing works in this area in mid December.
