Sure, the Elizabeth Line may not yet be the smoothest running rail service in London, but there’s no denying that it’s beautiful. The spacious carriages, shiny glass stations and platforms, and smooth, undulating ceilings are an absolute delight to the eye.
The Elizabeth Line has now been officially recognized as one of London’s finest new buildings. The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) announced the shortlist for the 2024 London Awards yesterday (15 February), with architects across the UK recognizing the capital’s best new buildings, with the entire Lizzy collection nominated.
In addition to the line itself, certain stations on the Elizabeth Line have also been shortlisted. Abbey Wood, Paddington, Tottenham Court Road and Woolwich stations were all recognized by the RIBA, which shortlisted a total of 76 projects across the city.
The remaining buildings on the shortlist have a wide range of uses, from homes and schools to churches, breweries, embassies and town halls. Other familiar names make the cut: the second phase of Battersea Power Station, the gorgeously transformed National Portrait Gallery and the overhaul of King’s Cross station are also notable.
Here are a few photos of the Lizzy line and its shortlisted stations, showing them in all their official architectural splendor.
