From trains to cranes: HS2 and the West London development boom

This report sets out how regeneration activity and investment close to HS2’s Old Oak Common Station has surged since HS2 gained Royal Assent in 2017.

According to specialist research, HS2 will drive a £10billion economic uplift in West London over the next 10 years.  The impending arrival of HS2 in the area is already delivering a positive economic legacy, driven by the promise of enhanced connectivity and heightened investor confidence.

Since Parliament approved building HS2 between London and the West Midlands in 2017, there has been a significant increase in regeneration and investment activity close to the new HS2 Old Oak Common station in West London, with the station supporting wider developments planned by organisations such as Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation (OPDC).

In this report, we shift our focus from track and trains to those opportunities, and the plans in hand for transformational regeneration and investment across West London.
