Our Projects

London doesn't stop growing, and nor do we. We're running projects all over the capital, investing in London's future and building a transport network that's fit for the 21st century.

Projects

Oyster Card
One of the world’s largest electronic ticketing projects now accounts for 80% of all TfL journey payments. So whether you’re travelling from Wandsworth to Wapping, the world really is your Oyster.
Cable Street, London Cycle Network
Barclays Cycle Superhighways are new cycle lanes into central London from outer London. They will provide cyclists with safer, faster and more direct journeys into the city. The first two have now launched, with 10 more being introduced by 2015.
Barclays Cycle Hire
More than 6.5 million journeys have been made using Barclays Cycle Hire since its launch in July 2010. By Spring 2012 the cycle hire area will extend eastwards as far as Bow. Hundreds more docking points are also being added in central London. Currently the largest docking point is outside Waterloo station.
Kings Cross St Pancras
The oldest and busiest Underground station in London has been transformed into an international rail hub, in a £774m regeneration project.
Step-free access
We’re aiming to increase access for our customers with restricted mobility. We’re gradually rolling out improvements to stations across London, like here at Canary Wharf.
Victoria Station
London’s busiest station boasts 76 million passengers a year, arriving on Tubes, trains, buses and coaches. New and improved ticket halls, lifts and escalators will ensure better access in and out of the station to serve the growing transport demands of London.
London Underground
The Tube carries an average three million passengers every day. The longest continuous tunnel is from East Finchley to Morden via Bank on the Northern line, taking in Tufnell Park along the way. Improvements on the Northern Line will increase the capacity on the line and reduce journey times.
Brixton Town Centre
Improvements to the pedestrian, bus and local urban environment is helping to regenerate the entire area, and making transport through the town much easier.
Countdown
Taking the uncertainty out of waiting for a bus in London. The electronic display system is already in use at hundreds of bus stops. This year we'll be introducing a new, improved system for all of London's bus stops via text message and web.
Docklands Light Railway
The DLR uses one of the world’s most advanced automatic train control systems, and has expanded faster than any other UK railway. It links central London to the East of the city, including its Southern most station here at Lewisham.
Olympics
In 2012 London will play host to the Olympic games, and we’re playing a vital role in ensuring the Capital is ready. Work already completed at Stratford station allows for more passengers and reduced congestion. Vast improvements across the Stratford area are continuing.
London Transport Museum
TfL is also responsible for running the London Transport Museum, in Covent Garden. In November 2007 it reopened after a two-year £22.4m redesign.
Transforming the Tube
We’re currently in the middle of the biggest transformation the Tube has seen in its 146-year history. Tracks, trains, signals and stations are all benefiting from an entire network rebuild. Kings Cross St Pancras has already seen the benefits.
The Victoria Line
Upgrades on the world's first automatic railway are well underway. This project has won some major accolades including Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport 'Passenger Transport Award 2009'. The work will make the line faster, more reliable, and increase capacity. And all the stations along the line will benefit too, like here at Stockwell.
Cooling the Tube
The challenge of removing heat from the Tube is being tackled in many different ways. We’ve already installed chiller units here at Euston and Oxford Circus.
Highbury and Islington
The station and surrounding area at Highbury Corner is undergoing a makeover. This station now connects to the East London Line branch of the Overground. The improvements will make changing transport easier, quick and safe, and will give passengers more open space around the station.
Finsbury Park
Plans are underway to make significant changes to Finsbury Park, making it safer, more secure and more pleasant.
Camden Town
Plans are currently being developed for a redevelopment for the entire Camden Town Station area – both below and above ground. The works will reduce congestion at the station and ensure it’s capable of meeting the demands of being one of the Northern Line’s key interchange stations.
Art on the Underground
LU have been commissioning art and design since 1908, but in 2000 Art on the Underground began working with artists to produce a varied array of new artworks to enrich the journeys of all LU passengers. Work ranges from Tube map cover artworks, reaching 15 million customers a year, to year-long, station-sized exhibitions in stations like Gloucester Road.
Cable Car
Crossing the Thames east of Tower Bridge on foot or by bike can be difficult. A solution is a cable car to link Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks. As a new landmark on the London skyline, it will also be a major attraction, improving access to major entertainment venues as well as connecting communities and visitor destinations on both sides of the river.
55 Broadway
London Underground’s headquarters (above St James’s Park Station) now has Grade 1 listed status and is home to some of the most important British public sculptures of the 20th century, by artists including Jacob Epstein, Eric Gill and Henry Moore.
Crossrail
A massively exciting project that will link the furthermost boundaries of East and West London. Running from Heathrow and Maidenhead to Shenfield and Abbey Wood the line will provide quick, regular access through central London stations, such as here at Bond Street.
Tottenham Court Road
A brand new Underground station is under construction for TCR which will provide access to Crossrail as well as the Tube. There’ll also be improvements to cycle and bus lanes, wider pavements and a new public piazza.
River Thames services
We’re responsible for licensing London’s eight piers and all chartered and scheduled passenger services. Around 2.3 million journeys are made on the Thames every year.
