Overview

• Burberry plans to stage a show on Perks Field beside Kensington Palace during London Fashion Week.
• Residents on the adjacent “Billionaires’ Row” filed objections citing noise, traffic and waste concerns and what they call growing commercialization.
• The High Commission of India submitted a request that sound levels be kept to an acceptable level because it hosts frequent diplomatic events.
• Burberry says it consulted the Royal Household, the Crown Estate and local residents in advance of the plan.
• The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea must decide whether the event can proceed, with past Burberry shows on the site held in 2014–2016 and William and Kate maintaining offices there despite moving out in 2022.
