Stepney Green cavern

Stepney Green cavern is an underground junction which contains the junction where Crossrail divides into two branches: one to Shenfield and one to Abbey Wood. It is located below Stepney Green Park.

Construction began in March 2011. The cavern was built using spray concrete lining techniques. Excavation work was completed in 2013, with all major work completed in 2017. At the time of its completion, Stepney Green cavern was claimed to have been one of the largest mined caverns in Europe.

Stepney Green Park above the caverns was subsequently restored following construction.
