Battersea Power Station Northern Line Extension
The two-station Northern Line Extension to Battersea Power Station has now opened. The extension serves the rapidly changing Battersea-Nine Elms-Vauxhall development corridor, and has an initial ‘preview’ service of a train every 10-12 minutes, this frequency will double next year. In the long-term this extension would form the southern terminus of the Charing Cross branch of the Northern Line if it were split.

Oxford Street Pedestrianisation
Plans have been unveiled to pedestrianise parts of Oxford Street around Oxford Circus to create two new piazzas and create new entrances to the tube station. These aren’t the first plans and are compared to previous proposals are more conservative in their approach; previous ideas involved closing the majority of Oxford St entirely to all vehicle traffic. It is none the less a major improvement on the existing setup which struggles to cope even with the waves of pedestrians. The original intention was to have a temporary solution by the end of 2021, but this target has now slipped.

Construction has now started on a new route hugging the riverside to rectify this.it is intended for construction to commence on a footpath hugging the riverside.
