Transport for London plans to develop 31 of its railway arches near Wood Lane Underground station, W12.
TfL aims to turn the unused arches into a mix of commercial, leisure and retail space as well as new pedestrian passageways.
The arches are located along the Hammersmith and City viaduct between the Wood Lane Tube station and the A3320 West Cross Route in Hammersmith & Fulham.
Subject to planning permission, TfL will complete the project in two phases.
The first 19 arches will open in 2018. Thirteen will be for retail and commercial uses, three as new pedestrian access routes and three for storage and cycle parking.
The next 12 will open when the adjacent residential developments are completed in the early 2020s. These arches will include seven for retail and workspace uses, four as new pedestrian access routes and one for storage and cycle parking.
TfL owns around 700 commercial arches across London. It has begun to assess the current use of each arch and what changes might be most welcomed in the local area.
