New public space in Belgravia

West Halkin

Earlier this year, a piece of land was given to the City of Westminster by the owner of Forbes House, the Grade II listed property on West Halkin Street. The land originally comprised part of the garden of Forbes House and will be located on Grosvenor Crescent. Although the image above is a concept design and the finished space may look very different once a consultation is undertaken with planning officers and other stakeholders, this is a wonderful outcome for local people living or working in Belgravia. 

Local Councillor Elizabeth Hitchcock said, “I am delighted with news that public land that will be available for everyone to enjoy in this very special part of Belgravia.”
