TfL Gives Go Ahead To Build Above Farringdon Station
The title of this post is the same as this article on New Civil Engineer.
These are the first two paragraphs.
Transport for London (TfL) has signed an agreement with developer HB Reavis to build an oversite development above the new Farringdon Elizabeth Line station.
TfL said the new seven-storey, mixed use building was part of a huge programme of Elizabeth Line property development which could raise £500M to be reinvested into improving transport in London.
The article then goes on to add more detail about this development and a dozen or so others under development or construction.
I took these pictures at Farringdon station this morning.
This Google Map shows the site.
The site is between the station and Farringdon Road.
I feel that the site will be a very well-connected one.
- There is a direct rail connection to Gatwick, Heathrow and Luton Airports.
- Eurostar is one stop away on Thameslink.
- There is a direct rail connection to Euston, Kings Cross, Liverpool Street, London Bridge, Paddington and St. Pancras stations.
- Many of London’s Central attractions are easy to access.
Could it become an up-market hotel?
