In most European cities, public transport systems not only serve traveling and commuting within the metropolis but also help the spatial and socio-economic development of cities and towns. As the largest city in Europe, London has the oldest underground service, which has been known as ‘Tube’, since 1863. There are now 11 lines covering 402km with 270 stations and serving over 4.8 million people per day in the metropolitan area. With the rising population in London, the demand for travel on the underground system never stop increasing. A new public transport network, Crossrail, which is the additional connection between West and East London will start operating in 2018. Other major cities in Europe also encounter the same increasing of demand on underground service in recent years. With the increasing demand for travel between city centre and suburban, the continuing expansion and intervention of railway infrastructure especially stations become the major impacts on shaping urban structure and economic redevelopment overtime. Stations are not only the ‘nodes’ where trains arrive and depart within the network but also the ‘places’ which allow social and spatial patterns emerging into public realms in cities (Bertolini, 1996). Stations Abstract. The impact of new public transport systems on towns and suburbs has been widely considered to be a significant aspect of urban development. However, spatial configurations which could stimulate transformation around neighbourhood of stations have not been clearly identified. It could be argued that the implementation of transport systems and the creation of new stations would enhance capacity of transport network and accessibility around vicinity of stations. Furthermore, the dynamics of pedestrian flow, generated by new public transport systems, might encourage socio-economic activities around stations. Therefore, the aims of this study are to verify the impact of urban morphology on station neighbourhoods and identify whether stations are embedded in the best location for optimising urban redevelopment. This paper analyses the surroundings of two stations – Bermondsey and West Ham – along the Jubilee Line Extension in London using Space Syntax measures. A spatial analysis with demographic and land use data reveals that the location of stations within urban layout would be the determinant in optimising socio-economic development in the neighbourhoods. It also suggests that Space Syntax could be an effective analytical methodology to understand the relationship between transport system and urban morphology.
