Final piece in £700m overhaul of Bank tube station in London opens to public

Upgrade to City underground transport hub includes new entrance and ticket hall at Cannon Street

The £700m upgrade of Bank station has been completed after seven years of construction, transforming London Underground’s major hub in the City into a “like-new, world-class” station.

The opening of a spacious, accessible entrance and ticket hall marks the end of an overhaul that has increased the station capacity by 40% and unpicked a notoriously labyrinthine and busy interchange.
