Thank you for your question.
Westmins...Hi Chiara,<br /><br />Thank you for your question.<br /><br />Westminster City Council are aiming to have finished all the work before the Olympics next year. I Imagine they would like everything done before the Queen's Diamond Jubilee too, so I think by May/June 2012 it should be complete.<br /><br />The work includes:<br /> "* new contemporary granite paving for the Square, gardens and side streets;<br /> * new state of the art functional and decorative lighting;<br /> * a unique and original white granite ribbon seating design;<br /> * an iconic new building to replace the existing ticket booth;<br /> * contemporary planting and new bronze railings and gates to create a stunning new look for the gardens; and<br /> * a complete refurbishment of the Square's below ground toilets.<br /> * incorporating Legible London way finding scheme"<br /><br />All the above is from the council website and you can read more here if you are interested. http://www.westminster.gov.uk/services/environment/planning/majorprojects/thewestend/leicester/Peter Berthoudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18096095973141402645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608225594971770795.post-53647185776421524242011-05-01T17:35:27.473+01:002011-05-01T17:35:27.473+01:00Any idea when work will be over? =)Any idea when work will be over? =)Chiarahttp://lainwen.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
