Crossrail Places & Spaces Exhibition: urban realm and development on the Crossrail route

Design proposals by Gillespies, among other design practices, are currently on public exhibition at the Crossrail Places & Spaces Exhibition: urban realm and development on the Crossrail route.

Crossrail will change London's landscape. It is the first transport project in the UK, on this scale, to propose public spaces and above ground property developments that are integrated with station designs to improve the user experience for the travelling public when it fully opens in 2019.

Gillespies is working on public realm and landscape design associated with several of the new stations and their urban realms at Canary Wharf, Tottenham Court Road, Paddington and Woolwich.

The entire route will run across 40 stations with 10 new stations and upgrades to several existing ones. These designs will be subject to review and revision as they are refined in the coming months.

The  "Places & Spaces" exhibition is at any of the three locations:

27 May - 13 June: City Hall, The Queen's Walk, London, SE1 2AA

16 June - 17 July: RIBA, 66 Portland Place, London, W1B 1AD

21 July - 14 August: NLA, The Building Centre, 26 Store Street, London, WC1E 7BT
