Works will integrate London Underground’s existing Bakerloo Line tube station with a new entrance underneath the Paddington Cube building.

The new tube entrance is part of a £65m investment in transport and public realm on the Paddington Square development.

John Kennedy, Project Director at Mace said: “Michael J Lonsdale’s experience with LUL will be a significant contribution to the success of the project.”

The 360,000 sq ft Paddington Cube building will sit on a three-storey podium 12m above the newly created 1.35-acre public realm, connecting it directly to the London Underground network.

Lonsdale Rail will complete the design from RIBA stage 5 and fulfil the manufacture, delivery, offload, distribution, installation, testing and commissioning for the mechanical, electrical, fire, public health and communications fit-out packages.

Lonsdale Rail will also provide dedicated in-house design, logistics and commissioning teams taking a proactive role in managing the entire M&E process.

Works will commence in November with project completion scheduled in May 2022.
