The Sky Garden

Rw oxford street hero 1 — The sky gardens reclaim disused buildings, facilities and amenities to create joint public and commercial spaces – a fusion of parks, commerce and hotels creating “a new synthesis of ʻrelaxationʼ and ʻactivityʼ that people desire, bringing nature to the high-density urban jungle”.

Inclusive community space

The marketplace

Rw oxford street — The marketplace celebrates food and drink from small, independent, local traders; connecting shoppers to the people who produced it and the places it was made. An incredible range of food from all over Britain and the world.

Retail revolution

Rw oxford street 1 — This pop-up area is a counterpoint to both global brand flagships and the ʻspace fillersʼ that consist of candy shops and low-value tourist traps sporadically populating Oxford Street. It offers a unique shopping experience comprised of independent British brands, from start-up and fledgling businesses to more well-known names.

Outdoor active

Rw oxford street 2 — An outdoors, active zone for people on Oxford Street to enjoy the outdoors with highly accessible adventures catered to all, turning underused streets into energy-packed, larger-than-life recreational facilities that focus on health, wellness and movement.

Entertainment epicentre

Rw oxford street 3 — An immersive experience and entertainment zone offering tourist-oriented leisure varieties for families, teens, adults or friends to spend a shared day (or night) out and enjoy a diverse mix of experiences in a single entertainment complex with a vibrant atmosphere.

For the things worth sharing, we’ve got a newsletter for that.
