LFA2010 - Central: Nash Ramblas events

Working closely with The Crown Estate, the Royal Parks and Westminster City Council, RIBA London will highlight the potential of an improved pedestrian route along the Nash plan of 1811.

Using visual markers on pavements and encouraging retail shops to engage in the route through window displays, the West End route will be unified into one procession encouraging people from one end to another.

The route will explore the origins of Nash’s vision, highlighting the historic features of existing buildings and explain some of the proposals to enhance the route in contemporary times.
