West End Project
The West End Project is one of the largest transport projects to be delivered on London’s streets.

The West End Project will transform the Tottenham Court Road area, making it safer and more attractive for residents, boosting business and creating new public spaces.

We are improving the green spaces and providing a brand new green park in London which will create a lovely oasis. The one-way system will be replaced with two-way tree-lined streets, some protected cycle lanes and new public space. The scheme will reduce congestion and pollution, widen pavements and make bus journeys quicker.

There will be a big increase in people coming to the area with the opening of the Tottenham Court Road Crossrail station in 2018, and we need to make sure that the area is safe and welcoming. This is an exciting role for someone to be involved in a large scale, high profile project and be part of the change taking place to transform one of the most iconic parts of London.
