London Victoria Station Historic Tiled Maps
These hand-painted ceramic line maps were made in 1899 for the London Brighton & South Coast Railway as part of an ambitious extension for the station and adjacent hotel, led by the railway's chief engineer Sir Charles Langbridge Morgan. One map shows the whole network and the other the suburban lines. Some of the branch lines and stations no longer exist. In the post-war era the images were damaged but in 2024 they were restored.
The plaque was unveiled, on an easel on 9 May 2025 but is now attached to the wall beside the Suburban map.
