Manor Royal

Allen Scott have been working with Manor Royal Business District since its inception in 2013. Following an initial masterplanning process, a series of successful public realm projects have been delivered and we continue to collaborate with the BID team on a number of innovative projects.

Our work has supported the BID and its partners in the investment of millions of pounds into public realm enhancements across the business district including the creation of two new public open spaces, improvements to key gateways and increased pedestrian and cycling accessibly. The public realm enhancements help with wayfinding and sense of place, and are a catalyst for transformational change. We are very proud of our involvement in helping shape the largest place to do business in the South East of England.

Current projects include delivering a series of small ‘micro-parks’ across the business district, collaborating with different public artists to form the Arts and Heritage Trail, providing a network of improved facilities including seating and outdoor meeting spaces, whilst telling the story of Manor Royal, its history and the people who have made it what it is today. Each micro-park is unique, to suit its location, but with materials and furnishing that are consistent with a wider furniture strategy prepared for Manor Royal.
