Southwark Underground Station has been included in the National Heritage List due to its significant architectural and historical value.

Opened in 1999 as part of the Jubilee line expansion, the station has been noted for being “one of the most striking and dramatic spaces within the London Underground system.”

Heritage minister Baroness Twycross called the station a “remarkable example of late 20th Century design,” expressing her excitement about safeguarding its architecture, which features a captivating interplay of natural and artificial lighting.

Henrietta Billings, the director of Save Britain’s Heritage, expressed her pleasure at the building receiving national recognition through listing.

The station has been designated as Grade II by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, following advice from Historic England.

Constructed between 1994 and 1999, it boasts a circular ticket hall, a blue glass facade, and a steel-panelled tunnel in its lower concourse.

It was one of six new stations inaugurated on the Jubilee line extension in 1999.

Each of these stations was designed with a distinctive character while incorporating common materials such as stainless steel and polished concrete.

Historic England has stated that the station has “rightfully secured its position” on the heritage list.
