London's Elizabeth Line wins 2024 RIBA Stirling Prize
The Elizabeth Line in London designed by architecture studios Grimshaw, Maynard, Equation and AtkinsRéalis has won this year's RIBA Stirling Prize for the UK's best new building.
Described as "a flawless, efficient, beautifully choreographed solution", the Elizabeth Line is the largest expansion to London's underground railway network for more than a century.
The jury named the project, which was led by Grimshaw, Maynard, Equation and AtkinsRéalis, the winner for its success in creating an alternative to the often stressed underground commuting experience.

"The Elizabeth Line is a triumph in architect-led collaboration, offering a flawless, efficient, beautifully choreographed solution to inner-city transport," said Stirling Prize jury chair and RIBA president Muyiwa Oki. "It's an uncluttered canvas that incorporates a slick suite of architectural components to create a consistent, line-wide identity ? through which thousands of daily passengers navigate with ease."
"Descending into the colossal network of tunnels feels like entering a portal to the future, where the typical commuter chaos is transformed into an effortless experience. It rewrites the rules of accessible public transport, and sets a bold new standard for civic infrastructure, opening up the network and by extension, London, to everyone."
