New Bakerloo Line ticket hall at
Paddington designed by Scott
Brownrigg
The improvement work to the Bakerloo line ticket hall at Paddington Tube station is now complete and open to the public. Designed by international architecture practice Scott Brownrigg for Sellar, the new entrance and ticket hall form part of the wider Paddington Square development. The new shopping, dining and commercial quarter is set within a contemporary 18-floor building and plaza by Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW). The project transforms the passenger experience and provides an impressive gateway to Paddington Square. Scott Brownrigg’s reimagining of the station, delivered alongside multi- disciplinary professional services consultancy WSP, includes a complete reconfiguration of the underground space, to create a more intuitive and accessible passenger journey. A legible and well-lit new entrance at the base of the new RPBW building provides a seamless transition to the urban realm above and a clear and visible route through to Paddington Station.
Step-free access has been introduced from the newly developed public plaza on Praed Street to the platforms below. A significant expansion to the Bakerloo
line ticket hall, complete with an increase in ticket gates, optimises passenger flow, reduces journey time and alleviates peak-hour congestion. This is accompanied by improved signage to create a more streamlined passenger journey to and from each platform. The upgrade also includes improved back-of-house facilities for TfL staff and creates a safe and modernised station environment for both Bakerloo line passengers and station staff, while retaining the character of the original London Underground station. The opening of the upgraded Bakerloo line ticket hall culminates over 12 years of Scott Brownrigg’s design services to improve connectivity and accessibility for passengers, across the five different train line connections at Paddington station.
