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.
Though used by millions of visitors, as well as students, local
workers, and residents the public realm was filled with street
clutter and vehicle traffic, it was confusing to visitors and
unfriendly to pedestrians.
We have changed this unwelcoming road into a world class
streetscape - a stunning public space that can be enjoyed by
all.
The Exhibition Road project was completed on 8 December 2011, on
time and to budget.
