200 year-old trees removed
A pair of 200 year-old trees have been cut down by Westminster Council who say they were too diseased to remain.
The iconic Berkeley Square in Mayfair was closed to pedestrians while work was carried out on the two London plane trees, which are thought to have been planted in 1789.
They are being replaced by two mature trees and two new saplings, keeping the council on course to complete its pledge to plant 500 new trees by the end of the financial year.
