The courtyard sits at the heart of Great Portland Estate’s
new development. Built on top of Crossrail’s New Bond Street station, the central
public space and its three unique pedestrian passages connect New Bond Street,
Oxford Street and Hanover Square. Built above a major piece of transport
infrastructure and bounded by central London’s busiest shopping district, the
courtyard offers a quiet, contemplative green space to sit and rest, away from
the flurry of the city centre.
Developed as part of the Bradley-Hole Schoenaich Landscape Architects team.
