Tooley Street 18-Mar-16 25
Tooley Street closure As our work moves across the station we need to locate a worksite on Tooley Street. From 30 April, we start work on the new station entrance on Tooley Street and from August will be to rebuild platforms 1 to 3. We need to extend the worksite beyond the station footprint to safely undertake the work on the station front. This means we must close the southern footpath and one lane to traffic. These works are taking place as part of the Transport & Works Act for London Bridge and are essential to the rebuild of London Bridge station. London Bridge and the surrounding area remain open for business throughout the rebuilding of London Bridge station. 18 March, 26
