Welcome to the Exhibition Road website
Exhibition Road, which
runs from South Kensington in the south to Hyde Park in the north,
is home to some of the most important visitor attractions in the
country, a unique collection of cultural and educational
institutions including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Natural
History Museum, the Science Museum, the Royal Albert Hall and
Imperial College London.
Since the Great Exhibition of 1851 Exhibition Road has been
a major destination and now attracts over 11 million visitors each
year.
Exhibition Road is Prince Albert’s legacy. By
2012 we are going to make it a place where culture and learning are
accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds with a streetscape
that makes that ambition a reality.
The crowded, narrow pavements and heavy
traffic will go. In their place we will make an elegant kerb-free
surface across the length and width of the road. Pedestrians will
have more space and vehicles will be limited to 20mph.
We’re changing Exhibition Road from an area
dominated by cars to one that puts people first.
