Transport for London (TfL) has chosen Native Land to develop South Kensington tube station and its surroundings as part of a major upgrade involving one of the busiest stations on the Tube network.
South Kensington Tube station, located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea welcomes over 34 million District and Circle and Piccadilly line customers a year to London’s museum quarter. Upgrade work on South Kensington station will involve rebuilding a new District and Circle Line platform and expanding the ticket hall and gate to encourage quicker journeys.
Consultation with the local community will get underway this year, and subject to planning permission, the development could be finalised by 2022.
Improving the station and providing step-free access will support the delivery of the Mayor’s Transport Strategy, which aims to reduce reliance on car journeys, encourage greater use of public transport and make London more accessible for all Londoners.
