Proposed Paddington Cube – Westminster City Council

Advice to Westminster City Council on the impacts associated with the proposed retail and leisure floorspace forming part of the £775m Paddington Cube development – a major edge-of-centre site adjacent to Paddington train station.

Our assessment focused on visitation patterns related to the train station, pedestrian through-traffic, and dwell time, leading to conclusions in respect of the impacts of the proposal on nearby district centres. A number of these centres were considered to be underperforming and potentially vulnerable to further trade diversion.
