Our plans for the Bakerloo Line extension win a prestigious award

The New Cross Area Framework and Station Opportunity Study won the ‘Masterplans & Area Strategies’ award, which recognises excellence in placemaking through area-wide regeneration strategies for the creation of new parts of the city.

The New London Awards is run by New London Architecture (NLA) and presented in association with the Mayor of London. It celebrates the very best architecture, planning and development schemes making the capital a better place in which to live, work and play.

The framework and station opportunity study for New Cross Gate station and the surrounding area were delivered by architects and urban designers, 5th Studio and We Made That, who were jointly commissioned by the council, TfL and the GLA.

Damien Egan, Mayor of Lewisham, said: ‘This is fantastic news. The benefits the Bakerloo Line extension could bring to residents and businesses in the borough are vast – from new jobs to new homes to new ways of travelling. This is why it’s so important that as many people as possible Back the Bakerloo campaign to make it happen.

‘I’m also delighted that contributions from local residents, business owners and others who work or study in the area were a key part of developing the vision. My congratulations to everyone involved.’

We are running a joint public campaign with Southwark Council to encourage local residents and businesses to ‘Back the Bakerloo’ by signing the petition.
