Henrietta Street Public Realm Improvements Works - Servicing Plan Update March 2026

FM Conway have been commissioned on behalf of Westminster City Council to undertake public realm improvement works on Henrietta Street. Works commenced on 15th January 2026 for an estimated 11-month programme. 

The works include footway and carriageway re-construction along the extents of Henrietta Street including sections on Bedford Street and Southampton Street. The construction works are being delivered in phases to maintain accessibility along the entire length of the road throughout the duration of the project. 

In order to undertake the works safely, the closure of Henrietta Street to traffic will be required. Appropriate diversion routes will be marked on site. A diversion plan is available on the project website, which details the impacts to servicing and deliveries. 

Servicing Plan Update - March 2026

During Phase 1 and Phase 2, Henrietta Street has remained open for servicing and deliveries between 7:00 am and 11:00 am. Access from Southampton Street was closed, with an alternative route provided via Russell Street and Covent Garden. 

Phase 3 works have been split into sub-phases to minimise disruption to residents and businesses as we move westward along Henrietta Street’s southern footway, toward Bedford Street.  

As such, the servicing plan for the area has been updated to match this works programme as we move into Phase 3. 

When Phase 3A works commence from Friday 17th April between No. 1 and No. 10 Henrietta Street, the servicing plan will operate as below. 

When Phase 3B works commence in approximately early May from No. 10 Henrietta Street to Co Thanh, the servicing plan will change again to operate as below. This will remain the servicing arrangement for Phase 3C works (Co Thanh to All Bar One) and until the completion of the overall project. The Commonplace news feed will be updated when works are moving from Phase 3A to 3B.
