The massive CrossRail project which saw the much-loved Astoria music venue biting the dust continues apace in central London, with vast areas of Soho turned into construction sites.
The £1bn project will see the complete rebuilding of Tottenham Court Road Underground station, with Crossrail promising, “congestion relief, delivering a bigger ticket hall, additional escalators, step-free access, and interchange with Crossrail services..”
Once completed, there’ll be a shiny new ticket hall at Dean Street providing access to the western end of the Crossrail platforms and additional access to the Central line.
Another view of the stark remains of the station building.
