Network Rail announced that new computer-generated images of the development at London Bridge station have been released.
A key feature of the rejuvenation programme will be the creation of a stunning new station concourse the size of the pitch at Wembley Stadium that will enable all passengers to access both Tooley Street and St Thomas Street directly, helping link together previously disconnected parts of the area and boosting opportunities for economic growth.
While work on the station transformation proceeds, development of the third London Bridge Quarter building – following The Shard and The News Building – is set to get underway this autumn, taking investment by the State of Qatar and Irvine Sellar to in excess of £2bn (EUR 2.8 billion).
“The new station will not only complement and enhance London Bridge Quarter but it will make the visitor experience so much better. I believe the long term benefits significantly outweigh some of the short term inconvenience that such a major piece of new infrastructure inevitably creates,” Irvine Sellar, developer and co-owner of The Shard and London Bridge Quarter, said.
