North Sloane Street
The majority of the paving has been installed from outside Harvey Nichols to outside Tom Ford. Inspections for quality are ongoing and this worksite is gradually being approved for grouting.
Cadogan Place Gardens
The RBKC works outside Cadogan Gardens are ongoing, and planter foundation preparation works have commenced.
South Sloane Street
RBKC works outside Piccolo are ongoing, the kerbing has been laid and the paving is quickly following. In addition, the works outside The Holy Trinity Church to outside Cassandra Goad are ongoing, with the majority of the paving being laid and the grouting and application of the sealant ongoing.

The Cadent Gas mains replacement works in Sloane Square, (unconnected to the Sloane Street Transformation works), have slightly overrun, however we have been advised they will be completed by the first week in March 2024.

Sustainability
Join Cadogan, Kensington and Chelsea Council and Morley College in creating a specialised, 6-month luxury retail course for our future retail stars. This programme will equip local students who have long-term interest and ambition in the luxury retail industry with a thorough understanding of retail management, customer behaviour, luxury brands, and the particular issues that the luxury retail industry faces. Following previous retailer consultants, key course components have already been approved—e.g. staff and customer behaviour, sales strategies, and brand management (more course details can be found here). Could you offer one-time retail and pre-employment sessions, lasting approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour? If so, or if you would like to learn more, please contact sustainability@cadogan.co.uk or paras.shah@rbkc.gov.uk
