Crossrail’s anticipated opening will create quick and simple links throughout London. Leading up to the opening of Crossrail, redevelopment has begun in areas of London to create new office and retail spaces next to the new stations. Although prices are increasing due to the introduction of Crossrail; the new Crossrail station at Tottenham Court Road has caused a boom of development in Fitzrovia.
A number of companies are building new office spaces and transforming sites which are expected to be completed in 2018/2019, just in time for the opening of Crossrail.
