Construction Phases

When the shopping centre closed on the 24th September the site was secured and Heras fencing was erected.

The access route through the shopping centre is now closed from the overground station and pedestrians are to follow the enhanced pavement route along Elephant Road for access between the Rail and Northern/Bakerloo Line Underground stations.

The deconstruction works will commence in October with the erection of a more substantial site hoarding. This hoarding will contain a number of dedicated vehicular access gates that will transition through 7 logistics phases during all works on site.
