The major project is just over halfway complete, and is due to be finished in 2022 when capacity at the busy interchange – which already handles more than 120 million passengers per year – will rise by 40%.
Work is on-going to fit out the entrance, adding dividing walls and operational rooms across its 11 storeys.

A new southbound tunnel and platform on the Northern Line are also nearing completion.
