St Paul's Gyratory Transformation Project
Modernising the City’s streets
The City of London Corporation are working to transform the St Paul's gyratory. Largely unchanged since the 1970s, our designs will reorganise the traffic-dominated streets to create a new public space, introduce safer walking and cycling routes, and retain access for buses and motor-vehicles. We aim to start work in 2025 following public consultations in 2023.
A new public space
Closing the southern section of King Edward Street to traffic enables us to create a new, 3,000-square-metre public space, provisionally called Greyfriars Square.

New street layouts

2023 public consultation
The City of London Corporation consulted the public on the proposals in summer 2023. The proposals consulted on are available at the St Paul's Gyratory Commonplace website.
Delivered in phases
The major project will be built in two phases:
- Phase 1 will improve streets to the south of the Museum of London ‘rotunda’ roundabout -aiming to start in 2025 and due to be completed by 2027.
- Phase 2 will improve the Museum of London ‘rotunda’ roundabout at the same time as the Museum of London/Bastion House is redeveloped (granted planning permission in April 2024).
