City Mayors: London Underground and Tube The tube station was intended from the start to be the showpiece of the Jubilee Line Extension, and its design was awarded in 1990 to the renowned architect Sir Norman Foster. Some visitors may regard some stations as shabby but a multi-million pound modernisation programme is underway that hopes to renovate the network fully while retaining the character of its oldest stations, which are architectural gems in their own right. The latest surface and tube cars have passenger-operated doors with push-button control, ensuring that on open-air sections of the Underground (over half the system, despite its name) only those doors though which passengers wish to alight or board are opened, conserving train heating in cold weather. citymayors.com /transport/london_underground.html   (2947 words)

Gabion: Will Alsop Underground 1/3 This is no hole-in-the-corner tube station: it is the biggest on the new line, the biggest in Europe. When the firm of Alsop, Lyall and Stormer landed the station job back in the early 1990s, the idea was that it would be buried beneath a gargantuan docklands-style redevelopment. Although it began life in a different world, this palatial, ultramarine blue subterranean space with its leaning mosaic columns and dramatically suspended concourse is the perfect introduction to the architectural sequence that follows. www.hughpearman.com /articles/alsop.htm   (335 words)

MDB - Winter : RLC The Blackwall Tunnel and North Greenwich Tube station and the coach station have all been closed until further notice. Forensic experts are continuing to sift the wreckage at the north end of the dome for clues as to the type and size of the devices used to destroy the northern pylons. The Sabs insist that they have been active since before the Dome site at Greenwich was cleared and they have been the main driving force behind popular resistance to the Dome and all it stands for. website.lineone.net /~farrago2/rlcsite/stories/mdb/md1w.htm   (3627 words)

The area The qualities of the site are the great view over the Thames towards Canary Wharf, and the proximity to the North Greenwich tube station, the transport interchange and future town centre. The EarthShelter development is located on the west side of the Milennium Peninsula, an area bordered by the river Thames on the west side, the planned Meridian Gardens development to the north, the Tunnel Aveunue to the east, and Morden Wharf Road to the south. While the EarthShelter site is not included in the current masterplan, I expect that rising land values around Greenwich Peninsula, combined with a shift of harbour activities towards the Thames Gateway area, will make development of this site feasible in the medium term. www.euronet.nl /~hoostdyk/html/the_area.html   (161 words)

Fodor's Travel Guides Forums Messages This is still an amazing structure when you see it, and North Greenwich tube station on the Jubilee Line is one of the most spectacular and modern. To get there, take the tube (Victoria line) to Islington and Highbury, and then change to the Silverlink train (some signs still call it the North London line but it is NOT the same as the "Northern" tube line). Straight north of there you are on Upper Street, with a great range of shops, a leading cinema on Islington Green, and as flanerUK says a leading theatre at the Almeida. www.fodors.com /forums/pgMessages.jsp?fid=2&tid=34458861&numresponses=23&start=0   (3257 words)

Families Online - Walking the Thames The shortest route is to turn left out of the North Greenwich tube station and thus avoid walking all the way around the Dome.

London Stadium's + Arena's: U/C, Approved + Proposed - SkyscraperPage Forum The accessibility to the site is increased by the immense North Greenwich tube station which was one of the massive stations opened for the Jubilee Line Extension (as large as Canary Wharf tube station). Unfortunately the stadium is located on a tertiary train line and not close enough to a tube station meaning that planning permission to expand has not been granted. For instance people in the North of England in say Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, etc were against the new Wembley being built on the ground of the old Wembley simply because it is not in a centralised location for the entire population to get to. forum.skyscraperpage.com /showthread.php?threadid=69590&perpage=25&pagenumber=1   (4700 words)
