In May 2021 the Mayfair Neighbourhood Forum initiated a project to create a Green Route through the heart of Mayfair, connecting Park Lane and Hyde Park to Regent Street and the area’s existing green lungs to create a meandering green line and transform the hard urban landscape. In doing so it responds to climate emergency, and the increasing importance of public realm, outdoor living, the value of greenery and clean air to wellbeing all brought starkly to light be the pandemic.  

The Mayfair Green Route is intended to be the first of many projects in Mayfair that will contribute to improving public realm, air quality & biodiversity. It will increase green cover and create new habitats for wildlife, connect people with neighbouring areas of green space, and celebrate the history of Mayfair. A space for people to walk, meet and dwell, accessible to all, it will enhance quality of life through respectful and bold design, providing proximity to a diversity of natural environments bringing increased social interaction and community involvement as well as footfall to support local businesses. 

Come and meet the Fluid/Arup team appointed by MNF to develop the concept plan and see the ideas being developed and share your thoughts on what the priorities are as well as your ideas for greening Mayfair and how you would like to be involved. There will also be opportunity to learn about innovative gardening and plant selection from Nigel Dunnett, the horticulturist for Grosvenor Square and his vision for the Green Route.
