Tottenham Hale

Tottenham Hale, as part of the Upper Lea Valley regeneration plans, has been identified for 5,000 new homes and 4,000 new jobs with the goal of transforming the area into a new district centre.

Significant transport investment is the focus. This includes:

• Removal of the Tottenham Hale gyratory system
• Construction of a new bus station and public square
• Tottenham Hale Tube/rail station improvement
• Upgrade of the West Anglia main line by Network Rail - this will enable a more frequent local rail service at Tottenham Hale

The changes will make the area more accessible and safer for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users.

Improvements began with a redesigned taxi rank space outside the station in January 2017.

Tube/rail station

Tottenham Hale station is an important transport hub and a strategic interchange with links to central London, the West End, the City of London, Stratford, Stansted Airport and Cambridge. However, constraints on existing transport capacity at the station mean we need to make improvements to allow for future demand at Tottenham Hale.

What is happening?

We have been working closely with the London Borough of Haringey, Greater London Authority, Network Rail and Greater Anglia to improve Tottenham Hale station.

Improvements include:

• A new landmark entrance to the station
• Enlarged station concourse to reduce crowding and queuing
• Step-free access to National Rail platforms via two new lifts and a bridge created by Network Rail
• Relocation of the station vent shaft
• Provision for over-station development
• Space for new retail units

While works are progressing well on the station upgrade, the discovery of asbestos which had to be removed in a safe and controlled way, has caused a delay.

Benefits

The improved station will be a focal point of the new district centre and an iconic gateway to Tottenham and the Upper Lea Valley. Passengers will benefit from improved:

• Interchange and journey times
• Accessibility and legibility
• Ambience and journey experience
• Retail opportunities

Improvements to the area

The plans for improving Tottenham Hale station were approved by Haringey Council's Planning Committee in March 2014.

We introduced a two-way traffic system in 2015 to help reduce the impact of traffic in the area, and to create the opportunity for other developers and Haringey Council to continue the transformation of Tottenham.
