Mayfair and Belgravia are two of the finest locations in London. Steeped in history, carefully planned and managed over the centuries by Grosvenor, these Estates continue to attract high accolades for their architectural beauty, quality and rich heritage.
Grosvenor recognises its responsibility to continue to perform its guardianship role, and to fulfil this through an approach which seeks improvement and continuous enhancement to the Estates’ Public Realm for the benefit of those who live or work within them as well as for visitors.
Our firm desire is to ensure that the Estates retain and enhance their human scale and continue to set new standards for urban life in London. At the heart of this is our vision to achieve a better balance between pedestrians and vehicles, with priority accorded to pedestrians, and Mayfair and Belgravia being better Places for People.
This approach is not about the exclusion of traffic, but about recognising that places and streets are for people and that traffic should play a complementary role in that vision and not a dominant one.
To achieve this we are working closely with Westminster on several innovative Public Realm schemes and have produced a 'Public Realm Handbook' which sets out detailed quality standards for all Public Realm works across the Estates.
