Sloane Street is home to global luxury retail and a vibrant residential neighbourhood. If Sloane Street blooms, so does London.
This website showcases plans to create a stunning green boulevard from Knightsbridge to Sloane Square; with wider pavements, a magnificent planting scheme, elegant street furniture and enhanced lighting.
Working in partnership with the Borough of Kensington & Chelsea
Cadogan and Kensington & Chelsea Council are delivering an exciting multi-million pound public realm programme on Sloane Street. The improvements create an elegant and welcoming environment for pedestrians, without compromising the street’s character or negatively impacting traffic flows. Read more about Our Vision
Consulting the Community
In 2016 & 2017, over 1,100 people took part in a consultation on the Sloane Street proposals, which were approved through the Council’s Key Decision process in April 2019. Over 75% of respondents said they supported the proposals. All responses have been considered, and where possible the feedback has been incorporated into the final design for the street.

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.
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. The junction of Harriet Street with Sloane Street will be closed from Monday 15th April whilst the FM Conway team complete paving to the side of Louis Vuitton. This section of work should take 8-10 weeks to be completed.
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. Paving and forecourt tiling works are underway outside Dior and Balenciaga. Works to install a planter to the front of Dior is scheduled to take place shortly. Pedestrian diversions remain in place with dedicated walkway entrances into the retail units until the end of April.
Harriet Street to Cadogan Place north
The ReachActive teams here have been working in association with UKPN here. From Monday 15th April ReachActive will be reinstating the carriageway in this section following the relocation of previously unlocated cables. However, FM Conway works are making good progress on this section. Three planters will be installed during the next fortnight. These will be installed to the front of Delvaux, Moncler & VersaceThe deep digging elements of Reach Active’s work should be completed by mid to late May.
Cadogan Place North to Cadogan Place South
FM Conway are pushing forward with the public realm aspects as the ReachActive work on this section concludes. The FM Conway team will be installing a temporary “Floating Bus Stop”. This is necessary to maintain a stop whilst the public realm works continue here.
Cadogan Place South to Sloane Square
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.
Thames Water will require further tests to take place before the reinstalment of the carriageway can take place.
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.
