Alfred Place benefits from excellent transport communications and is situated in close proximity to a number of Underground stations, including Tottenham Court Road which will benefit from Crossrail and London Euston which is benefitting from one of the most significant transformations of any Central London area and will become the gateway for high speed rail to the West Midlands and the North with the introduction of HS2.

BUS ROUTES

The immediate vicinity is served by numerous bus routes providing access to the West End, the City and beyond. In particular there are bus routes on Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Street, Chenies Street and Gower Street.

CROSSRAIL

Crossrail is the most significant infrastructure development in Central London since the opening of the Underground over 150 years ago. It will provide a high frequency, high capacity service across 40 stations, connecting Heathrow & Maidenhead in the west with Shenfield & Abbey Wood in the east. It will bring an additional 1.5 million people within a 45 minute commute of London, and during peak times passengers will be able to travel from Heathrow to Liverpool Street Station in approximately 32 minutes.

Construction of the Crossrail development commenced in 2011 and is due for completion in 2018, with the nearest Crossrail station to the subject property being Tottenham Court Road (5 mins). The station will form a major interchange along the route and is the only station on the route with a planned interchange with the proposed Crossrail 2 route.

Tottenham Court Road station capacity and footfall will increase to over 26,000 per day with commuters able to access a new spectacular five story underground station.
