Partners
The scheme has been developed and
delivered by a partnership of the Royal Borough, Transport for
London (TfL) and the City of Westminster. With most of the project
area falling in the Royal Borough, Kensington and Chelsea Council
took the lead in developing the designs and contributed £14.6m
towards the costs. The City of Westminster supported the scheme
with over £1m. The support of Westminster City Council has meant
that the whole of historic Exhibition Road, from Hyde Park to South
Kensington Tube Station has been transformed. The support of the
Mayor of London and TfL have been critical the the success of the
scheme with TfL contributing £13.4m. Exhibition Road is the largest
of the Mayor’s ‘100 spaces for London’ schemes.

In 2006 the institutions joined forces to form the Exhibition Road
Cultural Group (ERCG), which hosts joint festivals and events
as well as championing the area as one of Europe’s primary cultural
destinations. ERCG fully supports the transformation of Exhibition
Road and is working closely us help realise the visionary
project.
