Whether it’s BNG, UGF or TCFD… measuring nature and biodiversity is no walk in the park. Read about how Wild West End has been exploring ways to recognise the diverse benefits of nature more holistically.

The Crown Estate partnered with Square Mile Farms to set up urban farm stands at Air Street and 12 Charles II Street, and held workshops at its offices. The project promoted edible plants at work, raised awareness of sustainable food, and encouraged simple actions at home.

Grosvenor Square is undergoing a multi-million-pound transformation due to be completed in Summer 2026. The transformation is set to create a biodiverse-rich park with multiple green infrastructure types, designed to reconnect people and nature.

At the junction of Kendal Street and Porchester Place, 12 metres of planters were added with pollinator-friendly plants. The adjacent wall was later painted with a floral mural by a local artist, increasing the vibrancy of the space year-round.

At 23 Queen Anne Street, two new green terraces were created as part of a major refurbishment. Featuring a living wall, planters, beehives, and wildlife habitats, the spaces enhance biodiversity and provide staff with a place to relax and connect with nature in the heart of Marylebone.

Office building 170 Piccadilly offers a new landscaped terrace that brings nature to the heart of the building. Carefully selected planting and detailed hard landscaping create sheltered green spaces for work and relaxation, improving the customer experience while supporting biodiversity through thoughtful species selection and ongoing maintenance.
