New Bermondsey railway station (formerly Surrey Canal Road) is a proposed railway station on the
History
Surrey Canal Road and the proposed new station name derive from
It was announced in February 2009 that the line extension would be built but that funding for a station at Surrey Canal Road might not be available.[3]
Lewisham Council agreed in principle in January 2010 to provide the missing funding to complete Surrey Canal Road station.[4] Transport for London is committed to building the foundations for the station building and platforms to enable construction to take place readily should funding be found. In September 2010, the Department for Transport refused to provide £7 million for building the station as it would not provide good value for money.[5]
Renaming
 | This section needs to be updated. (June 2016) |
During a presentation at the site as part of the Open House 2014 weekend, it was revealed[by whom?] that the station would not be called Surrey Canal Road and that Renewal were working in partnership with TfL to confirm the rebrand of the area, the name of which will be used by the station and as the name for a whole new district of London.[citation needed]
In 2015, TfL announced that the area of major development surrounding the station would be named "New Bermondsey" and that the station would have the same name.[6]
Construction work is unlikely to start before late 2017.[7]
Development in the local area
 | This section needs additional citations for verification. (August 2016) |
A large £850m development around The Den, provisionally called Surrey Canal: London's Sporting Village, has been approved. Renewal, the developer, agreed in late 2011 to fund the missing capital needed for the new station,[1][2] and Lewisham Council's strategic planning committee resolved to grant the application at a meeting on 13 October 2011.[8] Planning permission under Section 106 was agreed in January 2012, securing its construction.[citation needed]
The new development will include shops, restaurants, business space and new leisure and sports and multi-faith facilities along with up to 2,400 new homes,[8] replacing warehouses, light industrial estates and a handful of 1990s-built residential blocks. The first two out of five development phases are scheduled for construction between Q2 2018 and 2020.[9]
The progress of the station could be accelerated with the news that planning permission has also been granted to redevelop the area immediately to the north-east of the station site at the junction of Surrey Canal, Trundleys and Grinstead Roads. A new complex of over 200 apartments called Neptune Wharf, on the site of the former Neptune Chemical Works, will also help bring a valuable residential market to the area. The Neptune Wharf development will also be significant in opening up the old Surrey Canal towpath (currently a private road called Canal Approach) and creating a pedestrian link between Deptford Park and Folkestone Gardens at the point the canal went under the railway viaduct. This should provide easier, safer and more pleasant access to the Surrey Canal Road from the adjoining streets.
