The project was flawed from the start because the idea behind it made no sense at all. The goal was that people would travel to the mound and therefore 'revitalize' the area. The entire principle was encouraging people to visit London, the West End, Oxford Street etc. You know, that place that has tons of world class restaurants, theatres, sculptures and architecture, the actual Marble Arch, etc. People needed a big hill, that'd make them go. They were working against the odds the entire way - we had a government sponsored propaganda campaign for years to warn people away from using public transport, to avoid busy hours, to not travel unless necessary, etc. People weren't (aren't) avoiding visiting the West End because there's nothing to do, they were doing it because it was hammered into them that there'll be death on a mass scale if they get on a tube train. That's unwinding, but it's a slow process particularly because whilst the "hide at home" message was hammered in, the same has not been done for the exit strategy. The whole thing was a boondoggle. Like someone else said, just go to Primrose Hill or the Heath or Crystal Palace or basically anywhere.
