Cromwell Road bus station in Kingston is set to reopen tomorrow, 16 November, after being closed for 15 months.

The station closed in August 2023 after Transport for London (TfL) announced it would be refurbishing the site.

Upgrades promised by TfL included improved accessibility, safety and customer experience as well as being 'greener' and more energy efficient.

Customers will now benefit from:

• 2 better connected, accessible bus stops
• A fully accessible customer information office
• Improved live information screens at both ends of the bus station
• A new canopy over the customer waiting area
• A wider passenger island with more space for customers waiting for buses and moving around the bus station
• New fully accessible toilets
• 2 new retail spaces
• Improved accommodation for TfL staff and bus drivers

Environment and safety features include:

• Green canopy edge and planters
• Newly resurfaced pavements and improved drainage including a sustainable urban drainage (SUDS) system
• Solar panels
• Improved LED lighting and CCTV
• A new PA system
