Transport for London
Bond Street area prototype
The Legible London prototype was installed in the Bond Street area in November 2007. It involved 19 on-street signs, as well as co-ordinated maps at bus stops and Tube stations to help people continue their journey on foot.
Forty other pieces of street furniture were removed from the area to reduce street clutter - a key principle of Legible London.
Comprehensive evaluations of the prototype showed the scheme has been very popular and average pedestrian journey times in the area have fallen by 16 per cent.
As a result, the prototype is being extended in the Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street areas, with a further 55 signs.
The lessons we've learnt from the prototype are also helping to inform and shape the pilots.
The prototype and extension have been delivered in partnership with:
