Case Study

Tottenham Court Road Station

About the Project

Tottenham Court Road Station is one of Central London’s busiest transport hubs, situated at the heart of the West End where Oxford Street, Soho, and Fitzrovia converge.

Serving hundreds of thousands of passengers daily across the Elizabeth line and Northern line, the station operates around the clock in one of London’s highest footfall locations, making professional, consistent exterior maintenance an ongoing operational necessity.

All Clean London carries out planned window cleaning at Tottenham Court Road Station, maintaining the glazing and facades of one of the capital’s most prominent transport hubs.

The Challenge

High-traffic locations like Tottenham Court Road present unique challenges for any cleaning contractor. Constant footfall, vehicle pollution, dust, and street-level grime accelerate the build-up on glass and facades far more quickly than in quieter environments.

The station rarely switches off, meaning all cleaning work must be carefully planned around peak times, public spaces, and Transport for London’s operational requirements, with zero tolerance for disruption to passengers or the surrounding area.

The Solution

All Clean London carries out window cleaning at Tottenham Court Road Station outside of operational hours, working during overnight and early morning windows when the station is closed to the public.

This approach ensures the cleaning programme causes zero disruption to passengers or the surrounding area, while giving our operatives the space and time to work safely and thoroughly across the station’s glazed entrance and facade.

Water-fed pole systems are used to deliver a streak-free, professional finish on the station’s exterior glazing, effective, efficient, and unobtrusive even in one of Central London’s most high-profile street locations.

The Result

Tottenham Court Road Station’s glazing and facades are maintained to a consistently high standard, supporting Transport for London’s commitment to presenting clean, well-kept infrastructure for the millions of passengers who pass through the station every year.
