Portman Square

A year ago, in what seemed like a prettification exercise, the pavement stones surrounding Portman Square in London were all replaced by what, at the time, seemed luxury type of pavement stones. The new stones looked very elegant and I assumed that the fact that the offices of the Portman Estate were situated in the square was not unconnected. Why else would the City of Westminster spend all that money?

 

This is what the place looks like now: 



 
 

Who is the architect, who chose these stones? Who are the people in charge who spent public funds on these unsuitable stones? The least one could expect is that they are sent to regularly clean them. In person.
