HS2 in West London
HS2 and the West London development boom
Construction at Old Oak Common station is well underway, and new research shows HS2 is already driving economic growth nearby.
HS2 boosts development since 2017
New homes, office space and leisure facilities have increased dramatically since HS2 gained Royal Assent in 2017. This construction boom will add £10 billion to the local economy over the next 10 years.
These schemes will create thousands of new jobs, community spaces and homes. Projects are already underway on an unprecedented scale.
