Read the latest issue of Rail Professional to hear from Andrew Postings, Head of Rail at Scott Brownrigg and Andrew Woodward, Head of Industry at WSP as they speak to Sam Sherwood-Hale about the intricate process of modernising Paddington’s ticket hall while maintaining operations.

Designed for Sellar Properties, the new Bakerloo line ticket hall at Paddington Underground station opened in October 2024. Our ambitious reimagining of the station, delivered alongside multi-disciplinary professional services consultancy WSP, includes a complete reconfiguration of the underground space, to create more intuitive and accessible passenger journeys.

The entrance at the base of the new Paddington Square Building provides a clear and visible route through to Paddington Station, and step-free access has been introduced from the public plaza on Praed Street to the platforms below.
