Overview
Marble Arch Mound (MAM or the Mound) is a proposal for the temporary installation of a viewing platform, landscaping, pathway and staircase, and other associated works, at Marble Arch for a period of six months. Permission has been sought for the erection of visitor attraction which will comprise of an elevated walkway with a viewing platform providing views along Oxford Street, Edgware Road, Hyde Park and over Marble Arch.
The structure will be landscaped with grass (both real and artificial), trees and planting to resemble a grass-covered hill on its southern, western, and eastern sides. Planning Permission has not yet been granted.
A decision is expected in the coming weeks and should the application be refused, the Authority reserves the right to withdraw from the Tender Process at any time. The structure will be created from scaffolding broadly rectangular in footprint.
Additional details
The scaffolding will create a hill profile. A walkway will be provided up the hill which will connect to a top viewing platform, the Summit.
The top of the viewing platform is 22.5 m in height. The hill is served by a lift.
The top of the lift overrun is 25.5m in height. The viewing platform will be 66m2 enclosed by a 2.4m barrier and will offer 360 degree views.
The planting on the top, east, south and west elevations will use trays with plants and an irrigation system. The north elevation will be open scaffolding.
The Authority is seeking tenders from suitably qualified firms to operate the Mound on its behalf. The Operator will be required to provide management and coordination of the visitor experience, stewarding, security, and daily cleaning (hygiene) services.
In order to deliver on the aspiration of having the Mound completed and ready to welcome visitors by early July, the Authority has committed to a Design & Build contract. This will effectively deliver a 'turn-key' attraction ready for an Operator.
