London, United Kingdom - London Waterloo is one of the UK’s busiest stations. However, after the relocation of the Waterloo International Terminal’s Eurostar service to St Pancras in 2007, the iconic Grimshaw designed station was left largely disused, and has been significantly under provided for in terms of retail.

Working with London & Continental Railways, Arcadis is project managing major plans to revitalise the original Eurostar terminal including the provision of up to 135,000 sq. ft. of retail space across three levels. When the station re-opens the five former Eurostar platforms will be brought back into regular use for commuter services.
The major retail plan forms part of the £800m remodelling of Waterloo station, in which the additional five platforms will be fully integrated with the rest of Waterloo as part of a comprehensive retail/rail design solution. Not only will this bring additional rail capacity for passengers, but will also benefit the surrounding community by making the station a destination in itself.
Arcadis began working on the project at feasibility stage in late 2015 and achieved full business case approval from the Department for Transport in spring 2016. Scheme and detailed design and procurement are now complete, and the station re-opened for rail passenger use in January 2019. Work now begins on the retail scheme and this fully opens for retail use in 2021.
Retail marketing commences Q2 2019, and the anchor unit has already been let to Time Out Market as their first innovative food and cultural market in the UK.
