Partner-in-charge, with Feilden+Mawson, of the masterplan, landscape design and  introduction of step-free access to all three lines at this historic station, as part of TfL’s Olympic Games investment strategy. Green Park is an Underground (tube) station located on the north side of Green Park, with entrances on both sides of Piccadilly, one London’s premier shopping districts

 

The station is served by the Jubilee, Piccadilly and Victoria lines.

Lifts, a new ramp from the ticket hall into the park, and a “stunning” canopy on the south side of Piccadilly were installed. The Diana fountain was relocated from its original site in the centre of the park to form the centrepiece of the new entrance, with full disability access.

The new street structures feature artwork by John Maine RA within the Portland stone cladding.
