- A major transport interchange that has seen little change for some 40 years
- Over 50 million people use this station each year
- The site is the size of Canary Wharf – around 15 acres
- Potential for a mixed use development of greater than 100,000sq metres
- Any redevelopment would need to safeguard the ability to provide an additional three platforms on the west side of the station
- Victoria is one of Britain’s busiest stations with 115 million users a year
- Network Rail is keen to see sympathetic further development of about 75,000 sq metres to enhance the Grade II listed structure and add to the already extensive passenger facilities.
- Adjacent redevelopment projects at Cardinal Place and Belgrave House show a proven market for high-value offices, retail, residential and leisure uses

About Network Rail
We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.
Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
