The £700m (EUR 807.4 million) project to upgrade Victoria Tube station has finalized a new phase, as a new North ticket hall has opened and a new entrance on Victoria Street is also now open and leads to the ticket hall and Victoria line. The entrance means that customers can now easily exit the station onto Victoria Street without having to cross the series of busy road junctions outside the station. The tunnels connecting the North ticket hall to the District and Circle lines will open in summer 2017.
The final part of the station to be completed, the expanded South ticket hall, will open in 2018. The modernisation of the station, which is being done in stages, will double the size of the station, ease congestion for customers and provide, for the first time, step-free access. Victoria, the fourth busiest Tube station, currently serves more than 82 million customer journeys each year.
“The opening of the new North ticket hall at Victoria is great news for the tens of millions of Londoners and tourists who pass through the station each year. It marks a significant step forward in a modernisation programme that will make journeys through this vital hub easier and more accessible for all,” the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said.
