Project Story
We were delighted to see the conclusion of our work at London Bridge Station. With the first two phases being primarily centred around shop fronts and security glazing, we were excited to see the completion of our 275m long two-phase façade on Tooley Street.
In collaboration with Costain, we have installed multilevel façade glazing. With the upper tier consisting of our gorgeous, curved façade and the lower, our double height stacked blast resistant glazing.
Further inside the station we were excited to see how our 26 glass archway shop fronts would look fitted in the historic surrounding red brick on Western Arcade. Our aim was to bring a modern touch to this Victorian barrel-vaulted retail area, in keeping with the stations character.
On the upper Tooley street façade we used suction cranes to lift the massive oversized glass 18m from the ground.

Finally, our retail glazing installation on Bermondsey Street consisted of 7 arches, 7m x 7m, where we also provided the structural steel. The shopfronts comprise of structural glazing on a Raico stick system and Allgood automatic closer SG Schuco doors. In addition, we situated pressed metal anodised Analok blue grey & brushed stainless steel flashings at floor level.
