Bond Street Station on Elizabeth Line Opens to Acclaim

Otis UK tells ELEVATOR WORLD a lot of people were dressed as James Bond the morning of October 24 as the Bond Street Station opened on London’s West End, bringing Transport for London’s (TfL) Elizabeth Line into full operation. The station, described by Time Out London as “huge and extremely swish,” boasts the longest Elizabeth Line platform at 255 m and the second-longest escalator across the entire TfL network, provided by Otis and only 1 m shorter than the “mammoth escalators” at Angel Station. Bond Street Station, the only station named for a street that doesn’t exist, features three abstract art pieces by British artist Darren Almond above and around the escalators and the public Medici Courtyard by the eastern ticket hall — the “first public courtyard to open in Mayfair for more than a century.”
