"Designs have been approved for a new 3,500-square-metre public square to be built in Central London. Greyfriars Square, as it is to be known, is earmarked for a site by St Paul's Cathedral and will be delivered as part of the 19 million reworking of the 1970s gyratory. While work on the changes to the highway began in April, members sitting on the City of London Corporation's Streets and Walkways Sub-Committee on Tuesday agreed updated designs outlining how the new square will look."
"The square is part of a wider transformation of the area around the famous cathedral including a remodelling of the one-way gyratory system. The scheme is intended to improve the streets and public realm between the old Museum of London site and St Paul's Underground station, with part of the gyratory to be removed in the process. It will be delivered in phases, the first of which will improve streets to the south of the former Museum of London."
A new 3,500-square-metre Greyfriars Square will be created beside St Paul's Cathedral as part of a £19 million reworking of a 1970s gyratory. Highway changes began in April and updated designs were approved by the City of London Corporation's Streets and Walkways Sub-Committee. The scheme will remodel the one-way gyratory, improve streets and public realm between the former Museum of London and St Paul's Underground station, and remove part of the gyratory. Delivery will occur in phases, with a new highway layout by September 2026, closure of the southern end of King Edward Street, and the square opening in spring 2027 with greening and a play area.
