Oxford, Regent and Bond Street Re-design, London
Three of London's most famous streets are set to change following a re-design from Gillespies.
Oxford Street has an international profile as a retail centre and is Europe‘s largest high street. With 95 flagship stores and 100 million shopping visits yearly - the narrow and cluttered pavements cannot cope with such intensity of use. The concept designs seek to redress this whilst altering the balance of the street to ensure a more consistent pedestrian experience from the east end to the west end. Proposals include the widening of pavements, the creation of urban ‘oases‘ in the side streets and the introduction of pedestrian crossings throughout.
Regent Street is a more elegant and classic street with stunning architecture that requires more of a simple design response. To properly complement and enhance the built form, the new design de-clutters the street and extends the natural stone pavement.
