Charing Cross station is set to revamp its long-closed pub into a Changing Places accessible toilet, addressing growing accessibility concerns. Alongside this facility, the former Beer House pub and an adjacent Burger King will be merged to create a larger retail unit. This upgrade, part of Network Rail's initiative to comply with new public building requirements, will also include the repurposing of existing stairways to provide an emergency exit. Currently, the station has limited toilet options, making this development crucial for inclusivity.
Charing Cross station's long-closed pub will be transformed into a modern Changing Places accessible toilet and a larger retail space.
The aim is to create essential facilities for people with mobility issues, with the Changing Places initiative recognizing the need for appropriate accessibility.
Network Rail is focused on introducing Changing Places toilets across its mainline stations, aligning with new accessibility requirements for public buildings.
The project will also reuse existing pub stairs to create a new emergency exit while merging with a former burger outlet for retail use.
