Square Comes Full Circle For Grosvenor Estate

The title of this post is the same as that of an article in the Business section of today’s copy of The Times.

It describes the history of Grosvenor Square and its relationship to the Grosvenor family.

There has been an American presence in the square since 1785, but with the moving of the American Embassy to Nine Elms earlier this year, the need for security measures has  decreased and control of the square has  returned to the Grosvenor Estate.

These are the last two paragraphs of the article.

After a public consultation, Grosvenor is seeking ideas from urban designers, architects and artists to “recreate a place fit for the 21st century”.

Craig McWilliam, chief executive, said that Grosvenor Britain and Ireland wanted to create “a haven where locals and visitors can enjoy the best of the city”.

Donald Trump has stated that moving to Nine Elms is crazy, but London will gain immensely from that move.
