PLANNING APPLICATION FOR LONDON LIVERPOOL STREET IS VALIDATED BY THE CITY OF LONDON

London Liverpool Street connects 118 million people a year within London, East Anglia, and the East of England. With annual passenger numbers forecast to grow, the proposed plans will ensure that the station is future-proofed, ready to accommodate over 200 million people in the decades ahead, while enhancing accessibility for all. ACME's proposed design responds to its historic context. The station entrances and reimagined concourse roof speak to the architecture of the listed station, adding its next layer of significance. New walkways inside the trainshed will allow for greater public access and appreciation of the Victorian part of the station.

"Liverpool Street is one of London's great Victorian Stations and our proposals will make the station accessible, permeable and celebrate its functions as the gateway into the City of London. We have embraced the challenge to design new entrances reflecting its position as the UK's largest train station, and roof structures that speak to the original 1875 structures and the 1990s extension.
We are retaining the essential qualities of the existing station, celebrating elements that were previously hidden, creating sustainable new workplaces and providing spaces to expand into for generations to come. Liverpool Street Station will become the world-class transport hub that the City of London and all Londoners deserve."

Friedrich Ludewig, Founding Director, ACME.
