BRENT CROSS TOWN

OLD STREET ROUNDABOUT AND STATION

SILVERTOWN TUNNEL

In North London, Brent Cross Town is a new park town centre, set around 50 acres of green parks and playing fields, targeting net zero carbon by 2030. Related Argent, in partnership with the London Borough of Barnet, is already on-site to deliver 6,700 new homes, over 50 locations for retail, food and drink, workspace for over 25,000 people, along with community services including three redeveloped schools plus health, wellness and amenity services.

Located in Zone 2 within southeast London and part of the Docklands to the south of the River Thames, 53 acres of historic dockland is being transformed through major investment by British Land and Australian Super, supported by the London Borough of Southwark. Proposals include 3,000 new net zero homes, 2 million sq ft of workspace, and 1 million sq ft of retail, leisure, entertainment and community space; including a new leisure centre and a new 3.5-acre public park, set alongside the existing 130 acres of water and green public spaces in the area.

Under the Thames, linking Silvertown to the Greenwich Peninsula in east London, the tunnel aims to help reduce chronic congestion at the Blackwall Tunnel and allow for better public transport links, including more cross-river bus journeys. It is planned to open in 2025.

TfL are modernising the station entrances and an outdated 1960s roundabout to create a safer, more welcoming environment. Work is continuing to create a major new public space with better walking and cycling access to Old Street station. The project will also create two new passenger entrances, a green roof, and new lifts to an upgraded retail area, and is proposed to complete in early 2024.
