‘Stage 2 Designs’ on Oxford Street and a progress update to be revealed as Mortimer Street works get underway

Westminster Council is to unveil more detailed designs for Oxford Street as work gets underway on Mortimer Street between Regent Street and Great Titchfield Street.

Construction started on 4 March to create two-way traffic movement along Mortimer Street, and will shortly commence to reverse one-way traffic on Great Titchfield Street between Mortimer and Margaret Street to northbound only.

This will be followed by work on Wigmore Street in Marylebone on 11 March.

Drivers are being warned not to overtake cyclists on narrow sections of road and pedestrians can expect footway diversions.

Construction on this part of the programme is expected to be completed in early 2025.

A project progress update for the whole Oxford Street Programme (OSP) will be given at an event on Monday 11 March where residents will have an opportunity to see a presentation on the latest designs and to put questions to the project team.

“All are welcome to join us any time between 11am and 8pm to learn about updates to the Oxford Street design and chat with our team,” states the invitation in the OSP newsletter.

All Oxford Street drawings will be updated on the Programme website starting 11 March.

Oxford Street Programme, Stage 2 Design: Full Day Open House, Monday 11 March 2024, from 11am to 8pm at The Salvation Army (Regent Hall), 275 Oxford St, London W1C 2DJ.
