Jubilee Line Extension Stations Tour - SAVE Walking Tour
Jubilee Line Extension Stations Tour
Saturday, 24th February 2024 | 11:00 – 14:30
Due to popular demand we are thrilled to announce the return of this event for the fifth time, following multiple sold-out performances. Join SAVE and former head of design and heritage for Transport for London, Mike Ashworth for a special tour of the award-winning design and architecture of London Underground’s Jubilee Line Extension stations and hear about SAVE’s successful campaign in 2017 to stop the major demolition of Southwark Station.
Described as "the biggest architectural sensation of their kind since the Moscow Underground’' when they opened in 1999, the stations on the line were commissioned by Roland Paoletti for London Underground, soon after he completed the impressive new Metro in Hong Kong. He chose a group of talented architects both established and at the beginning of their careers - including Hopkins Architects (Westminster), MacCormac (Southwark), North Greenwich (Will Alsop) and Canary Wharf (Foster + Partners).
Tickets: Friends & Saviours £16, General Public £19 (incl. Eventbrite booking fee)
Meet: West Ham Tube Station at 11am
*Please note that there are very limited spaces available and a valid travel card or topped up Oyster is required for the day covering Zones 2&3.
