The
Jubilee line extension included a station at , which would include a large car park and bus station. Construction on the tube station began in 1993. In 1996, Greenwich was chosen as the site for the
Millennium Experience, with the under construction station considered to be a key part of the transport infrastructure. Initial designs for the bus station were by North Greenwich station architects
Alsop, Lyall and Störmer – with a colourful "L" shaped roof, representing a missing letter from
Millennium.
Foster and Partners were instead chosen to design the station in 1996, with the design incorporating a sweeping
aerofoil shaped roof canopy, with extensive use of glass.
North Greenwich Transport Interchange opened around the same time as the tube station in May 1999 as part of the Jubilee line extension. The
Millennium Dome was the main attraction during that time. The bus and tube stations are located quite close to the southern portals of the
Blackwall Tunnel. The bus station is accessible via escalator from the tube station. There are five stands within the bus station. Initial proposals for a new bus station designed by
Santiago Calatrava did not materialise. ==References==
