A major revamp of London Liverpool Street station has been approved, including a 97-metre tower block above the concourse. The City of London planning committee voted 19-3 in favor after concerns regarding overcrowding and accessibility. The redevelopment will enhance station capacity, with new lifts, escalators, and facilities, while also incorporating a five-star hotel next to the historic Andaz Hotel. Despite over 3,700 objections, supporters argue the project will modernize the transport hub and boost the local economy.
