January 2024

Issue seven

We hope that the new year finds you well. January 2024 is now well underway as is the 2024 programme of works along Sloane Street.

Traffic continues to flow south along Sloane Street, with vehicles now using the west side of the road. Public realm works by FM Conway are taking place along the east side of the street. Residents will have seen new Yorkstone paving appearing towards the north end of Sloane Street and other underground works continue.

Please do join us for our next residents’ drop in on 23 January (details below) to speak to members of the team and learn more about the current works.

Sloane Street Transformation

FM Conway 2024 Timetable

The timetable for the public realm works on the east side of Sloane Street has now been published at www.sloanestreetfuture.co.uk/programme

Sloane Street Lane Closures

Following the last Resident’s Drop-In at Cadogan Hall, it has been confirmed that southbound traffic will be able to continue using Sloane Street throughout the duration of the works. The chicane will remain in place, but move up and down the street, as required.

North Sloane Street

New granite kerbstones and Yorkstone pavers have been laid outside Harvey Nichols, whilst at Arije, the footpath has been excavated and the kerbstones are being laid.  

Reach Active trial holes have also been excavated to inspect for unknown below-ground obstructions.

Works have now started on Basil Street, which is part of The Knightsbridge Estate and managed by Schroders.

Pedestrian crossing between 50 Sloane Street and Hermès

We have been advised that there has been a delay with the delivery of the Belisha beacons, and the crossing will remain closed. An alternative temporary crossing is located close by.

Cadogan Place Gardens

The footpath has been excavated and kerbstones are being laid on this soon-to-be widened stretch of Sloane Street, (full plans of the completed scheme can be found at www.sloanestreetfuture.co.uk/our-vision).

South Sloane Street

Thames Water commissioning works are ongoing at the Ellis Street junction and other side streets, to connect them to the new mains water pipe which has just been installed along the length of Sloane Street.

Trees

All the new Lime trees have now been planted along the western side of Sloane Street, (Burberry down to Tiffany). The new tree grilles are now due to be installed.
