Planning approved to redevelop one of Tottenham’s oldest rail stations

The transformation Bruce Grove Station, on Tottenham High Road, into a landmark spacious building with a striking copper-coloured steel facade will get underway next year after plans were given the green light by Haringey Council.

The station will be extended with new space for a café or restaurant after Network Rail proposals were given the green light by the council’s Planning Committee last night

The elegant glass structure will be clad with bespoke weathered steel that will change texture over time, and a raised roof that will connect the Victorian station, which first opened in 1872, to the high street – with the beautiful railway arches visible from inside and outside the building.

Residents who took part in the council’s five-month Tottenham’s Future consultation last year said they would like to see new, high-quality places to eat and drink in Bruce Grove as part of regeneration work.

The new station design by architects Landolt + Brown in collaboration with artist Wendy Hardie – which was praised by the independent Haringey Quality Review Panel – will create wider pavements and upgrade public space to make the area more welcoming for visitors.

Cllr Alan Strickland, Cabinet Member for Housing and Regeneration, said: “I’m excited to see this stunning new building move a step closer, bringing some striking modern architecture to Tottenham.

“Residents have been clear that they want to see better places to eat and drink on the High Road, and this impressive new space could be home to a high-quality business – as well as giving passengers the station entrance they deserve.”
