Plans to revamp a road which acts as a popular west London retail and hospitality destination between luxury store Harrods and Knightsbridge Tube station have been revealed.<\/p>\n
The joint venture by the Knightsbridge Estate and Harrods is intended to deliver improvements to Hans Crescent, with better lighting and public seating.<\/p>\n
New greenery would also be introduced, including three new trees and about 80 sq m (860 sq ft) of planting. The project is due to be completed by autumn 2026.<\/p>\n
Michael Ward, the department store’s managing director, said the plans “reflect our dedication to the long-term commitment to the stewardship of Knightsbridge”.<\/p>\n
The work includes introducing six new seating areas, new lamp-posts and an area for temporary art installations.<\/p>\n
Ward said: “The project goes beyond traditional urban enhancement; it creates an inclusive, welcoming communal space that elevates the shopper experience while prioritising sustainability.” <\/p>\n
The Knightsbridge Estate is a large retail area that sits between Harrods and Harvey Nichols, which has cafes, restaurants and retail units. <\/p>\n
