King George Tower

King George station is an elevated stop on the Expo Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. It sits in the southern part of downtown Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, and serves as one of the line's two terminals. The station is on King George Boulevard near Holland Commons, just north of Fraser Highway. It takes its name from the nearby street, which in turn goes back to King George VI, who visited Surrey in 1939. Since opening in 1994 as part of the Expo Line's second extension to Surrey, it has been an important transportation hub. Holland Park and Surrey Memorial Hospital are both within walking distance in the immediate area. Mixed-use residential and commercial districts are also taking shape near the station, such as King George Hub, which replaced a former park-and-ride lot. As a central connection point for the TransLink bus network, the station links surrounding areas such as Delta, Langley, Surrey, and White Rock. An extension of the line toward Langley City is also planned, with construction on this expansion scheduled for the coming years.
