=== Jubilee Line extension === The [[Jubilee Line Extension]] was constructed in the 1990s to extend the [[Jubilee line]] from [[Green Park tube station|Green Park]] to [[Stratford station|Stratford]], via the then new [[Canary Wharf]] development. Opening in September 1999, the new Jubilee line station was designed by in-house JLE Project Architects, overseen by [[Roland Paoletti]].<ref name=":2">{{Cite book|last=Powell, Ken, 1947-|title=The Jubilee Line extension|date=2000|publisher=Laurence King|isbn=1-85669-184-5|location=London|oclc=42444848}}</ref> The design of the station was complex, due to the distance between the existing [[Bakerloo line|Bakerloo]] and [[Northern line|Northern]] lines and the extension - as well as the railway station located above.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> To connect the station together, a {{convert|115|m|ft|adj=on|abbr=}} [[moving walkway]] link was installed, one of only two on the Underground; the other gives access to the Waterloo & City line platform at [[Bank and Monument stations|Bank station]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.davros.org/rail/culg/vertical.html|title=CULG - Vertical transport|website=www.davros.org|access-date=2020-02-26}}</ref> The colonnade on [[Waterloo Road, London|Waterloo Road]] underneath the taxi cab road of the station - originally used for goods deliveries and a bus stand - was also repurposed as the new Jubilee line ticket hall.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> The station was temporarily the western terminus of the extension running from [[Stratford station|Stratford]] in east London, before the final section to link the extension to the original line was opened between Waterloo and [[Green Park tube station|Green Park]] on 20 November 1999.<ref name="rose" /><ref>{{Cite web |date=15 November 1999 |title=The Final Section of the Extended Jubilee Line between Green Park and Waterloo Opens |url=http://www.londontransport.co.uk/underground/jle43a.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000303023502/http://www.londontransport.co.uk/underground/jle43a.htm |archive-date=3 March 2000 |access-date=18 March 2022 |website=London Transport}}</ref> There is a westwards-facing crossover to the west of the Jubilee line platforms to enable trains from [[Stanmore tube station|Stanmore]] to terminate and turn around head back west.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Detailled London transport map (track, depot, ...) |url=https://cartometro.com/cartes/metro-tram-london/ |access-date=2023-05-14 |website=cartometro.com}}</ref> [[File:6.Haste Waterloo Elephant.jpg|thumb|Elephant by [[Kendra Haste]], located in the Jubilee Line Ticket Hall]] A sculpture of an [[Elephant]] by artist [[Kendra Haste]] is located between the escalators in the Colonnade Ticket Hall.
