Fortnightly Sloane Street Residents’ Update

Welcome to our latest fortnightly update on works taking place along Sloane Street. We hope that residents find these updates a valuable source of information as works progress along the east side of the street. In response to feedback received from residents, please note that information on bus services using the street has been included below. 

Water supply shutdown

Works were successfully completed this week at the Pont Street intersection to connect one part of the new Thames Water main.  There will be further works required to connect the opposite end of the new main at the junction with Sloane Square.  A further overnight water shutdown will be necessary next week, commencing at midnight on Wednesday 20 March, with a maximum duration of four hours.

The connection works will involve noisy works from 12-1 am due to pipe cutting. Thames Water will be using appropriate acoustic barriers to dampen any resulting noise. Residents whose properties will be affected will be contacted directly by Thames Water in the coming days. 

Directional closure of Sloane Street

As previously referenced, the traffic management has now been reconfigured. This means the traffic will be diverted onto the western side of the street but will continue to travel in a southbound direction. Although the original intention had been to change the directional closure to allow northbound traffic, after meetings with residents and businesses, Cadogan and Kensington and Chelsea Council have decided to maintain the northbound closure of Sloane Street in 2024 until the completion of the project.

This means that the current directional closure which has been in place since January 2023 will be in place for the remainder of the works, including during the construction of the eastern footway. To help passengers alight from buses safely, temporary stops will be utilised as close to the existing stop as is safely possible or by building temporary ‘floating’ stops whilst the new kerb lines are constructed.

A copy of the traffic management and associated diversion routes can be found here.

Road closures

The junctions of Cadogan Place South, Ellis Street, Wilbraham Place & Sloane Terrace with Sloane Street will be closed until Late spring 2024.

Bus services

Sloane Street continues to be served by bus services during the works in a southbound direction, providing services towards Battersea Park, Chelsea and Victoria. At present, bus stop KK (Sloane Street / Knightsbridge Station) is closed with a temporary stop provided on Knightsbridge by William Street.  Stop KL (Pont Street) remains open.  Stop C (Sloane Square) is currently closed, users should use Stop D located to the east of Sedding Street. Live information about which bus services and stops are open can be found using the TfL bus stop tracker. We will continue to update the website with relevant information about bus services.

Brompton Road to Harriet Street

FM Conway work here continues, including excavation works and paving to the front of Dior and Louis Vuitton and tiling work on the forecourt of Tom Ford. The installation of a planter will be underway between 195 -196 and to the front of 190. Pedestrian diversions will remain in place with dedicated walkway entrances into the retail units until the end of April.

Harriet Street to Cadogan Place north

The FM Conway team will be working from Versace to St Laurent. Meanwhile, Reach Active works will continue at the junction of Cadogan Place north with Sloane Street. The deep digging elements of Reach Active’s work should be completed by mid to late May. 

Cadogan Place North to Pont Street

Reach Active are undertaking work in this area to lower and divert existing utilities to enable FMC to construct the new footway, planters and tree pits.  Cappagh will be commencing drainage work in this section upon completion of the Reach Active work.

Pont Street to Cadogan Place south

Thames Water are continuing their work at the junction of Pont Street to install and connect the new watermain.  FM Conway continue to install paving and planters in this area.

Cadogan Place south to Sloane Square

Public realm works by FM Conway are currently taking place in this area. A planter will be installed to the front of Catherine Provost and 162b.  Reach Active works, in association with Thames Water, are ongoing in the carriageway to the front of the Holy Trinity Church, at the junctions of Cadogan Place south, Ellis Street, Wilbraham Place and Sloane Terrace, with Sloane Street.  TW will be carrying out a series of tests to the new water main in the coming weeks. These should be completed by mid-April. And depending on the results, Reach Active will be able to commence a programme re construction of the carriageway. Following this the side roads as mentioned above, will re-open.

Please note, the dates and times of this work are only indicative and may take longer than expected if the site team encounters any unforeseen difficulties, such as engineering challenges or bad weather.
