A square area beneath the clock on platform 1 which I think was closed

It used to be the main pedestrian route to the taxi rank. Since that moved,
it's been an alcove, with the rear section sometimes taken up by a storage
compound for the crossrail station worksite outside.

More significantly, all the temporary buildings were removed from the
crossrail station worksite a few months ago, presumably meaning that the
space is finally needed to surface-level works
