The New Tottenham Court Road Underground Station

Now that G-A-Y has finally seen its last dance, I'll bet you are wondering what is going to take its place. Well, as you may be aware, the Astoria is going to be torn down, and Tottenham Court Road tube station is going to be redone and made into a glorious, spacious and light-filled jewel at the east end of Oxford Street. That is the plan anyway. In this artist's drawing I like the fact that they've gotten rid of the really ugly and pedestrian unfriendly fountain at the base of Centrepoint, and replaced it with the glass entrances to the tube station and a large pavement. Hooray for public transport!
