A public consultation has been launched on plans to develop a second entrance at Southwark Tube station in London.

The proposed entrance on Greet Street, at the corner of Wootton Street, will ensure the station is able to manage any future increases in passenger numbers and relieve pressure on the existing entrance.

In addition, the upgrade will also provide more direct routes to The Cut and the Waterloo area. Further plans include a planted roof and a community space, as well as proposals to work with the local borough to improve the immediate area outside the entrance.

Marlon Osborne, Head of Customer Service for the Jubilee Line, said: "A second entrance at Southwark station will make customer journeys easier for thousands of customers every day as well as supporting the growing number of homes and jobs in the area.

"I'd encourage all those living and working nearby to attend the exhibitions to learn more about the plans, share their views and help shape how the community space inside the station is used."

TfL will be holding two exhibitions in the coming weeks for local residents, businesses and customers to discuss these plans with the Southwark station project team. The consultation runs from 12 September to Tuesday, 10 October.
