The proposals will deliver a state-of-the-art, fully accessible station, alongside new commercial, cultural and public spaces.
Policy Chairman of the City of London Corporation, Chris Hayward, said: “This redevelopment of Liverpool Street station is a major step forward for the Square Mile.
“It will support the City’s dynamic business ecosystem with state-of-the-art infrastructure, create new jobs and strengthen our position as a world‑leading destination, while ensuring that residents, workers and visitors all benefit from a modern, inclusive and future‑focused transport hub.
“As competition among global cities increases, we must demonstrate our openness to new investment that will enhance our urban environment and Liverpool Street station will now continue to do just that.”
Chairman of the City of London Corporation Planning and Transportation Committee, Tom Sleigh, added “Everyone likes an upgrade, and this astonishing improvement to Britain’s busiest train station is just that; a major improvement by every measure.
“It’s a late, but very welcome Christmas present for the nation. The soaring Brick arches and bold architecture will cement Liverpool Street’s status as a modern temple to transport.”
