Wigmore Street/Mortimer Street Works
3 February 2025

To the east of the Quarter, works to convert Mortimer Street and Wigmore Street to two-way traffic are nearing completion. The projects aim to deliver a simplified road network rebalancing road space and traffic signal timing for the benefit of pedestrians while maintaining appropriate traffic capacity and discouraging high speeds.
We have been notified by Westminster Council that the change to two-way traffic operation requires a four-day temporary road closure in the area scheduled to take place from 8am Thursday 20 February to midday on Sunday 23 February 2025. During this period Mortimer Street, Great Titchfield Street, Wigmore Street, Cavendish Place and the western and northern arms of Cavendish Square will be closed to traffic. Traffic diversions will be clearly indicated. Pavements will remain open and pedestrian access to all properties will be maintained at all times.
Once roads reopen on Sunday 23 February, the following changes will have been implemented:
- Mortimer Street will be two-way between Regent Street and Great Titchfield Street
- Great Titchfield Street will become one-way from south to north (currently one-way north to south between Mortimer Street and Margaret Street)
- Wigmore Street and Cavendish Place will operate two-way traffic between Wimpole Street and Regent Street
- Cavendish Square (west side) will be one-way from north to south (currently one-way from south to north)
A number of traffic marshals will remain at key pedestrian crossing points for a few days to assist with the new traffic layout.
