The Anonymous Widower

A Waste Of Space?

I took this picture, as I rode through Kentish Town station on a Thameslink train.

A Waste Of Space?

I’d never realised there was quite so much space.

This Google Map shows the Midland Main Line as it passes through the station.

Midland Main Line Through Kentish Town

I do wonder, if this site would be one that could be used to create housing or other buildings above the railway.

• In a few years time, there will be upwards of eight Thameslink trains an hour through the station.
• After the rebuilding of Camden Town station, there is the possibility of upwards of thirty trains per hour on the Northern Line.
• Kentish Town West station on the North London Line is not far away.
• Just off this map to the West, is the large site, where J. Murphy and Sons have their offices and Central London base.

It would appear to be a well-connected place for homes, offices, schools, colleges or hotels, and I’m sure Camden Council are doing their best, to improve the area.
