Preferred permanent shaft locations at
Kennington Green, Kennington Park and
Cottingham Road
Preferred temporary shaft locations at Radcot
Street and Harmsworth Street
Temporary shafts are required for approximately
12–18 months for works to stabilise the ground
in preparation for the tunnels to be built.
Permanent shafts are needed to allow air in and
out of the underground tunnels, help cool the
Tube and enable emergency access to and from
the tunnels if necessary.
Radcot Street (approved by Lambeth Council)
and Harmsworth Street (subject to approval
from Southwark Council) are recommended as
sites for the temporary shafts. These have been
chosen after feedback from residents on their
preferences and the outcome of further technical
work to assess engineering and building options,
traffic impacts and the potential disruption for
each of the sites.
Consultations were held with residents living
close to the proposed shaft locations. At
Kennington Green, the preferred location is at
the old distillery site, and at the Old Lodge in
Kennington Park. In the Claylands Road area,
the preference is at the garages on Cottingham
Road, but in response to the consultation, TfL is
exploring alternative options for this site.
We continue to work with Lambeth and
Southwark on these proposed locations. For
more details and the results of the consultations,
visit tfl.gov.uk/nle

Lambeth Council has confirmed initial support for
these sites and is working with TfL to agree the
detail of their proposed location and design.
Why are we proposing this?
Who’s involved
The extension of the Northern line is considered
essential to support the transformation
of Vauxhall and Nine Elms, a designated
regeneration area on the South Bank, and is
part of wider plans to improve public transport
in the area.
The scheme is supported by the Mayor of
London and was backed by the Government
in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement.
Wandsworth, Lambeth and Southwark councils
and the key landowners in the area also support
the scheme.
A series of major redevelopment projects are
now under way in Nine Elms and in Vauxhall
which will create a new London district with
up to 16,000 new homes and business space
for 25,000 jobs.
Who will pay for the Northern
line extension?
Additional public transport, particularly the
Northern line extension, is needed to make
this happen and to benefit existing residents
and businesses.
We are working with the Government, the Greater
London Authority (GLA), the London boroughs of
Wandsworth and Lambeth and local landowners
to confirm a funding package for the extension.
Benefits of the extension include:
An independent report on the economic impact
of the Northern line extension has shown that the
extension would generate substantial benefits.
• Two new stations at Nine Elms and Battersea,
linked to existing bus routes, to improve
access to the Tube network
When will the extension open?
• Journey times from Battersea to the West End
or the City will, in some cases, be less than
15 minutes
Subject to funding being in place and permission
from the Secretary of State for Transport to build
and operate the extension, the new stations at
Nine Elms and Battersea could be open by 2019.
• Less pressure on Vauxhall station and relief to
the existing Northern line south of Kennington
Sign up now at tfl.gov.uk/nle to keep
up-to-date with the latest news on the Northern
line extension.
What next
Over the coming months, we will:
• Progress the detail of the proposed route
ready for further consultation
• Conduct further environmental impact,
business and economic assessment studies
• Work with local authorities and resident
groups to agree the exact location and outline
design of the proposed shafts
• Consult on proposals for the new Nine Elms station
• Work closely with the new owner of Battersea
Power Station, once appointed, to progress
the plans for the extension
• Prepare a submission to Government for
permission to build and operate the extension
Have your say
• Further consultations and events on the
proposed scheme will be held in autumn
2012. Sign up at tfl.gov.uk/nle to be updated
when these are confirmed
