Southwark

What we are working on in Southwark

• Bakerloo line extension - we hope to extend the line from Elephant & Castle to Lewisham, running along Old Kent Road where we propose putting two new stations
• Elephant & Castle Tube station - work is underway to create a new station entrance and ticket hall which will serve the Northern line. Construction work to create the new ticket hall started in 2022 and tunnelling work to connect the ticket hall with Northern line platforms will begin in 2025.
• Dulwich Common and Lordship Lane:  we plan to provide new pedestrian crossings at this junction in Spring 2025.  This will provide a safe crossing facility for pedestrians and encourage more people to walk in this neighbourhood

Local news

• New bus lanes - we have introduced new sections of bus lane on New Kent Road and Tower Bridge Road to improve bus journey times and support sustainable travel. These measures have been introduced as a trial under an Experimental Traffic Order and we will consider whether to introduce these on a permanent basis after the trial has concluded

Local Implementation Plan (LIP)

The LIP is produced by the London Borough of Southwark and agreed with us. It sets out the details on transport infrastructure changes in a three-year period to support the Mayor's Transport Strategy.
