Whitechapel Crossrail Station

Location: London, UK
Client: Crossrail
Completion: 2020

Whitechapel Crossrail Station is a major transit hub integrating multiple services including the London Underground District, Hammersmith and City Lines and the London Overground. The renovation and expansion project preserves the heritage features of the existing station, including its historic facade, while delivering a new, light-filled ticketing space and dynamic concourse. A spectacular walkway alongside the concourse provides a new public route for passengers and local residents, animating the neighbourhood.
