London Bridge redevelopment

London Bridge – a vision for the future

We're going to transform London Bridge station, with more room for passengers and a huge increase in services on the Thameslink route.

The improvements will be funded by the Thameslink programme – a £6bn Government investment in rail. This is part of our wider vision of a better rail network for London and Britain.

Current improvements

The London Bridge Quarter development, which includes the Shard, has funded a new bus station and is building a new concourse on behalf of Network Rail. This will link the terminating rail platforms with the bus station outside.

Ready in 2012 these are just the first of many improvements to come.

Huge concourse, natural light

London Bridge station will have the largest concourse in the UK, creating 66% more space, new retail and station facilities.

The concourse will unify the station for the first time so that passengers can access all platforms from one place.

A bigger, better connected station

With entrances on Tooley Street and St Thomas Street, connections to and between the surrounding areas will be improved, supporting the wider regeneration of the area. Tube and bus links will be improved and lifts and escalators will provide step free access to every platform.

More services, better connections

By reconfiguring the track, in the future there will be nine 'through' platforms and six terminating platforms. This will mean more trains to more destinations including a connection to Crossrail services at Farringdon providing links across and beyond London in all directions.

Keeping London Bridge moving

While we transform the station, we will make sure it remains open for the millions of people who use it every day.

More information about the construction programme and any railway service changes will appear here in due course.
