This morning the Mayor and transport minister Theresa Villiers officially unveiled the new designs for central London's eight new Crossrail stations.
Despite concerns that budgetary cutbacks would dilute some of the more ambitious plans, it seems that the axe hasn't fallen quite so harshly: Canary Wharf's Norman Foster-designed glass awning, resembling a basking shark and likened to "a ship moored in the dock", is safe for now. While some of the stations may lack the architectural gravitas that was attached to the Jubilee line extension, at this stage none of the designs looks embarrassingly cheap either.
The designs will be on public display at New London Architecture, in Store Street, from November 19 until December 8.
