Installation of New Public Benches on Threadneedle Street

8 April 2026

Cheapside Business Alliance has worked in close collaboration with the City of London Corporation to fund and install two new public benches on Threadneedle Street.

Designed by MM Cite, the benches sit alongside The Royal Exchange and have been carefully positioned following joint discussions with the City of London to ensure they complement the setting and enhance the public realm.

Since their installation on 28-29th March, the benches are already proving popular with workers and visitors, providing valuable new seating in one of the City’s busiest locations.

This project reflects Cheapside Business Alliance’s continued commitment to investing in high-quality public spaces and supporting a more welcoming, well-used City environment.
