Places for London, Network Rail Property, and the London Borough of Lambeth have formed a strategic partnership to regenerate Waterloo Station and the South Bank neighbourhood. The partnership will explore opportunities to deliver a new station destination, improving the customer experience within and around the station environment. This forms an integral part of a wider regeneration plan.

Working closely with key stakeholders and the local community, future regeneration will improve wider permeability, create iconic open spaces, alongside bringing forward the widest range of development and investment opportunities.

The vision outlines several suggested improvements and upgrades including:

• Better Connections – 40+ enhanced walking and cycling routes, and 15+ improved gateways to the station and the City.
• Redesigned northern concourse – A remodelled entrance at the northern end of the station to better interact with the public realm and surrounding areas immediately outside the station.
• New, southern station concourse – A new concourse in the south of the station to help improve passenger flow in, out and through the station.
• Enhanced public spaces – New and improved multi-generational, inclusive and safe public spaces.
• More green infrastructure – 1,900m2 of new green space around the station with proposals for hundreds of new trees.
• Enhanced bus and taxi interchange – some existing bus and taxi stops will be relocated to a new enhanced interchange on the south-eastern side of the station, providing easier and more direct access.
• Creation of new workspace, a retail and leisure offer and employment opportunities.
