St John's Wood High Street

St John's Wood Sign

As we all know the traditional high street continues to change and the pandemic has accelerated the pace of change.  

Our beloved High Street here in NW8 has suffered but as we have reported before in this newsletter, we are working with stakeholders to improve the layout of the street, widening the pavement, introducing more greening and a more unified alfresco dining experience.  

A full consultation on a permanent solution will go out to the community early in the new year.
