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, whilst retaining access for buses and motor-vehicles. The works will start onsite on 28 April 2025 and take place over two years.
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 called Greyfriars Square.

Delivered in phases
Construction works are scheduled to take place in phases. There is likely to be some disruption for people travelling through the area during this time.
- Phase 1 (stages 1-4) will improve streets to the south of the former Museum of London ‘rotunda’ roundabout. Work will start in April 2025 and are due to be completed by 2027. There are four stages of the phase 1 works and these can be seen in the phasing plan attached at the bottom of this webpage.
- Phase 2 involves future improvements to the former Museum of London ‘rotunda’ roundabout at the same time as the Museum of London/Bastion House is redeveloped. Planning permission was granted in April 2024 and further details will be provided once available.
