The first steam railway to have a terminus in London. Originally it ran, largely on viaducts, between Deptford and Spa Road Bermondsey. By 1838 it had been extended at both ends: from Deptford to Greenwich and from Spa Road to London Bridge. Initiated and designed by Colonel George Thomas Landmann. The holding company continued in existence until 1923. have a whole post about this railway with lots of pictures.
