Transport for LondonNext steps
The works are complex and take place in a very busy part of London, at an important crossroads. These works require careful management, including minimising disruption to local residents and businesses and keeping people informed about them.
Construction will meet best practice standards and will be overseen by various procedures and standards, including those laid down by Parliament and the considerate construction schemes of both the London boroughs of Camden and Westminster.
Construction works and Tottenham Court Road Station
The aim is to keep Tottenham Court Road station open during construction although it might be necessary at times to close it at weekends, earlier in the evening or to restrict interchange between the Central and Northern lines.
We will keep you informed about how the work will affect your journey through posters and public address announcements, emails and articles in the London media.
