| Rather later than planned, the Southbank entrance to Waterloo tube station has finally reopened to the public over the weekend. The old entrance was built into the ground floor of the Shell centre office buildings, but as those have been demolished to be replaced with tiny expensive flats, the tube station entrance has to close.That plan didn’t last very long, and after long chats with London Underground, within a few months the developers were back with a revised scheme. The changes were due to London Underground’s concerns about the size of the proposed ticket hall, and the lack of additional capacity at a station which is getting ever busier.It’s fairly spartan as designs go, but here, the substantially larger floor space makes the station entrance considerably more welcoming than the tiny cramped space it used to offer. A few nice touches though, such as the back-lit panels on the walls, which I am sure will look rather more impressive at night.As a total diversion – when researching the planning details, came across this diagram that shows the disused lift shafts when the entrance was on the other side of the road. The entrance was rebuilt on the other side, with escalators to cope with visitors to the Festival of Britain and opened in 1951. -- ???????? | |||
