Grosvenor Square, one of London's iconic landmarks, is reopening to the public after a comprehensive 25 million pound renovation. Owned by the Duke of Westminster's private property company Grosvenor Group, the square was closed last June for its fourth major design change since the 18th century.
Instead of the plain and flat grass layout, a landscape design featuring winding paths and a woodland theme has been implemented. 150 thousand plants and bulbs, 44 new trees, and two small wetland areas have been added to the square, adding a natural touch to the city's green spaces.
With the new arrangement, the square is also aimed to gain the capacity to absorb 1.4 million liters of rainwater against urban floods. In the project aimed at bringing nature back to the city, various wildlife such as ducks and butterflies have been seen so far, and a new cafe and an educational center have also been offered to visitors in the area.
