Improvement works, including new paving, lighting, greenery, and seating, may cause disruption at a Walthamstow bus terminal.

The upgrades, part of the Walthamstow Culture for All programme, are taking place at Courtenay Mews and are expected to be finished later this year.

This could mean the St James Street Station bus terminal might need to close temporarily while work is being done.

Waltham Forest Council said the footpath at Courtenay Place would be closed until March 27, for safety reasons, but access to local businesses would remain open, with signs guiding pedestrians along alternative routes.

St James Quarter, which includes Courtenay Place, the Transport for London (TfL) bus station, and St James Street Overground Station, is undergoing significant changes. These improvements are part of the Local Regeneration Fund programme, aiming to make public spaces more inclusive and environmentally friendly.

The project is funded by the UK Government and is part of the Walthamstow: Culture for All programme.

The first phase will focus on landscape improvements and public art installations celebrating the character of the area. For updates, visit the TfL website.
