A new mainline station for London
At a cost of £40 million, the station, constructed by Volker Fitzpatrick, forms a crucial component of the expansive Brent Cross Town regeneration initiative. Its prime location ensures accessibility for residents of Barnet, patrons of the burgeoning Brent Cross Town, and visitors to the iconic Brent Cross shopping centre.
Modern aesthetics with functional efficiency
The architectural vision for Brent Cross West Station marries modern aesthetics with functional efficiency. It promises an enhanced travel experience, facilitating smoother journeys for passengers commuting to Central London or to key airports such as Luton and Gatwick. Furthermore, its proximity to Brent Cross shopping centre serves as a convenience hub for Thameslink network travellers.
Striking overbridge constructions
The station's eastern and western entrance buildings showcase distinctive architectural styles—one in brick, the other in cross-laminated timber. These structures lead seamlessly to the station's focal points: the striking overbridge constructions and the main station buildings, characterised by elegant light fabric canopies and roof structures.
Collaboratively delivered by Chapman Taylor and WSP, this contemporary station stands as a pivotal piece of the city's infrastructure acting as a catalyst for growth in this area of North London.
