Regents Park trunk mains replacement
London’s water mains pipes are some of our oldest assets. Many are over 150 years old, dating back to the Victoria period. We’re upgrading the large trunk water main in Regents Park to make sure it's fit to flow for years to come.
These vital improvements will help:
- Provide a more reliable water supply
- Reduce leaks and bursts
- Increase trunk main capacity
- Adapt the network pipes due to the growing population in the area
When and where we'll be working
From mid to late March 2025 in Regents Park, London. The work will take approximately 10 months to complete.
Our working hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6:30pm. When required, we may also work 8am to 1pm on weekends. We'll also need an hour before and after our scheduled working hours to prepare and close down works.
How this may affect you
As we’re working on site, we’ll do our best to minimise any disruptions to you.
Some parts of the footpath within the park will be closed so please follow diversion signs.
St. Andrews's Gate and Chester Walk Gate will be closed during this work. Please use alternative gates.
Three-way traffic lights will be in place at the junction of Outer Circle and Park Square East. Look out for our signage on streets and paths.
There will be parking bay suspensions during this time.
Benefits to the local community
