London and Continental Railways (LCR) was a company originally established in 1994 as a private consortium to own European Passenger Services and build the Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL) under a contract agreed with the UK government. After the full length of the CTRL was opened and rebranded as High Speed 1 (HS1) in late 2007, the company subsequently ran into financial difficulties and was nationalised in June 2009. LCR then became a state-owned company that developed former railway land, until it merged with Network Rail's property team in 2025 to create Platform4.
