Consultation has concluded.

We're excited to be planning for a summer pop-up plaza at The Strand in Chelsea! Our aim is to enhance outdoor dining and activation opportunities and support the local community over the 2023/24 summer period.


Project background

The Strand in Chelsea benefits from existing street fixtures, including multiple bench and platform seating options and power. To complement this permanent infrastructure, we're planning a pop-up plaza to increase the vibrancy of this space as we begin to move into the warmer months, increasing outdoor dining and activation opportunities to support the local community and traders.


What's in the pop-up plaza?

We've put together a list of possible options intended to re-energise and activate The Strand in Chelsea over summer. These exciting outdoor activations and programs are designed to encourage community members to visit the site as a destination, fostering a sense of connection to 'place' and each other through creating fun and shared experiences in this space.

Proposed longer-term activation options include:

  • Picnic tables
  • Window decals

Proposed short-term programs include:

  • Neon lighting activations
  • Face painting
  • Bean bag chairs
  • Large scale outdoor Jenga
  • Live music
  • Interactive installations
  • Workshops and creative programming
