Project: ‘Europe’s first climate-positive train station’

The upgraded Denmark Hill station
Christopher Lamb, project manager and principal designer with Invvu, talks us through his Denmark Hill Station project – the ‘first climate-positive station in Europe’.

In September 2021, the new Denmark Hill Station entrance was officially opened, and major station enhancements were revealed. A job which historically should have taken around five years from initial concept to completion was condensed into 30 months, all against the backdrop of a global pandemic.

Denmark Hill Station is one of the busiest suburban stations in London, with over 7 million passengers each year. Sustained daily usage and significant footfall at peak periods (expected to grow exponentially over the next 20 years), meant the station was in need of upgrading. Prior to the upgrades, congestion was a real issue, with passengers taking up to 10 minutes to leave the station.
