Waltham Forest Council and London Square are pleased to confirm that work on Site 1, including the new station entrance, will begin in 2026. In January 2026 the existing cycle hub will be removed, to enable the construction works to begin later in the summer. Secure bike parking will be temporarily moved to two Bikehangars which are located on Platform 1.
The proposals for the new entrance include a ticket hall, provision for automatic ticket gate lines, a retail unit on the ground floor, and a basement-level cycle hub with 130 bicycle parking spaces, an increase from the 48 that are there currently.
The new station entrance will be accessible via the station concourse and will connect to Network Rail’s existing footbridge. Cycle hangars for disabled cyclists and new bike stands will also be incorporated outside the new station entrance within the proposed public plaza.
There will be a feature wall within the station entrance that will celebrate the history, communities, and achievements of the local area.
Significant utility diversion works are required before work on Site 2 and Site 3 can begin. The dates for work on Site 2 and Site 3 cannot be confirmed until these works have been scheduled, we will update this webpage with more information when we know more.
