The Bakerloo line extension is a proposed extension of the London Underground Bakerloo line in South London from its current terminus at Elephant & Castle to Lewisham station.[1]
An extension southwards from Elephant & Castle was considered as early as 1913, with a formal proposal to extend to Camberwell in the late 1940s.[2] Since the late 2000s, Transport for London (TfL) has been planning an extension of the line, with a route to Lewisham via Old Kent Road safeguarded in 2021.[3] TfL has also proposed taking over services on the Hayes line to Hayes and Beckenham Junction, which could occur following the completion of the extension to Lewisham.[4]
The London Underground extension would serve areas of Southeast London with low levels of public transport availability, improving accessibility and reducing journey times.[5] The extension would also support regeneration and housing development in the area.[1][6] Estimated to cost between £4.7bn to £7.9bn (in 2017 prices), the extension would take around 7 years to construct.[5] Due to financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, work to implement the extension is currently on hold.[1]
