Historic Cheapside gets a 21st Century make-over

Posted Monday 27th September 2010

The City of London is the world’s leading financial hub and Cheapside is at its heart.

If you’ve recently travelled along this historic London thoroughfare you could not have missed the scale of transformation the area is receiving.

One New Change Development in The City

According to The Cheapside Initiative, the aim of the redevelopment is to ‘make it a lively and an engaging location for the local workforce and residents’.

One New Change is perhaps the largest project which is on track to open on October 28th offering over 220,000 sq ft of retail space as well as a considerable amount of office space too. A wide-range of well known, specialist and high-end stores have confirmed their imminent arrival as well as new restaurants and bars including Jamie Oliver’s new concept restaurant Barbecca.

In addition to the new office and retail spaces, the area’s infrastructure is also being upgraded with a new road layout, walkways, parks, squares and weekend openings of the Waterloo and City underground line.

The redevelopment of Cheapside firmly places EC1 as the best place for companies to do business in the City of London – great for your employees and perfect for your clients.
