Design and construction of stations on the East London line

This paper describes the design and construction of the two smaller ‘new-build' stations on the northern section of the new East London line recently constructed in central London. The stations were heavily influenced by the environment in which they were built and the structures they adjoined. Hoxton station was constructed under the existing nineteenth century masonry arches, which underwent significant analysis as part of the design, while at Haggerston, where they were assessed to be unsuitable, the new station was constructed under a new arch replacement structure.
