Plans have been revealed to build an art installation at a former petrol station site in White City in a bid to improve the area’s appearance.

Developers Stanhope have agreed to lease the quarter-acre site in Wood Lane from Transport for London (TfL) which will initially house the art work near its White City regeneration project.

It will be created by artists Craig Redman and Karl Maier, with Stanhope planning to introduce pop-up uses including street food as well as artistic collaborations with other artists including Royal College of Art students.

White City is undergoing an £8 billion 10-year regeneration which will form a new hub of activity, creativity and academia in west London.

It will see the arrival of new shops, restaurants and educational facilities, as well as the creation of 4,000 new homes, over two million square feet of office space and 20,000 new jobs.
