Northern Line Extension Around Kennington Station – 10th July 2020

I took a trip to Kennington this afternoon to look at the sites of the Northern Line Extension around Kennington station.

These pictures show Kennington station.

It appears work is still proceeding inside the station to complete the extra passageways.

This Google Map shows the station.

As the hoardings seen in Braganza Street were not there this afternoon, have the builders finished the major works at the station?

I then walked to the site in Kennington Park, where there is a construction site, where they are building a headhouse.

This page on the TfL web site gives more details.

I took these pictures of the site today.

There does seem to be work to do, but I’ve no idea how much.

This Google Map shows the site.

If the shaft under the headhouse, is covered by the green cover, it’s not going to be enormous.

Finally, I walked to Kennington Green, where they are building another headhouse.

This page on the TfL web site gives more details.

I took these pictures of the site today.

It looks like the new concrete building on the far side of site will be clad in bricks to fit in with the houses.

This Google Map shows the site.

It does appear to be a very different design to the other site.

But there is still some time to go.
