History of Platform
Platform, located under the historic arches of Glasgow Central Station, combines the station’s rich history with modern elegance. Opened in August 1879, Central Station was a pivotal development built by the Caledonian Railway, later expanded between 1899 and 1906 under the direction of architect James Miller and engineer Donald A. Matheson. This expansion included the creation of the twelve iconic arches, initially part of the station’s infrastructure, which have been revitalised to form Platform.
Today, Platform is a versatile event space that retains its historical charm while offering contemporary amenities. The venue’s exposed brickwork and industrial features provide a unique backdrop, perfectly balancing heritage with modern functionality.
