The group of 30-plus volunteers have transformed the land surrounding the station into a beautiful green area, supported by new screening, photo collages and a new personalised clock.
Their work also includes the installation of an artwork spelling out ‘Cricklewood’ made from reclaimed scaffolding boards.
The station, which is managed by Thameslink, is in the running of the “It’s Your Station” category at the Association of Community Rail (ACORP) Awards.
James Gillett, station manager, said: “The work of the volunteers has been truly fantastic and I am so pleased they have been recognised.

“It’s a really bold statement to say ‘We’re here, look at us! This station is an important part of the community.’
