At Regent’s Place
We have helped to create two new pedestrian routes.
A new east-to-west walkway through the estate enhances links from Regent’s Park to Euston Station, offering a pleasant alternative to Euston Road and opening up the historic façade of Holy Trinity Church.
We also worked with Transport for London to improve north-to-south links, with a new pedestrian crossing across Euston Road making it easier for people to get to Fitzrovia, the West End and nearby tube stations.

Our business travel
80% of our executive business journeys in 2010 were made by public transport, walking or cycling.
This is an impressive turnaround from 56% in 2007, and a further improvement on 70% in 2008 and 74% in 2009.
220 journeys were undertaken during the two-week review period in 2010 compared to 208 in 2009; yet these journeys cost less money and resulted in a smaller carbon footprint. This was partly because a smaller distance was covered but also because of the switch from cars, taxis and planes to public transport.
