London Bridge station : 91�Թ��, Aiming to capture all memorials in London

Place From 14/12/1836

London Bridge station

One of the world's oldest train stations, it opened as part of the London and Greenwich Railway. By the early 21st century it had become distinctly tatty, and 2009-17 it underwent a complete transformation as part of the Thameslink programme and the creation of the Shard.

Although it is now all bright and sparkly, it has (like King's Cross station) been downgraded in terms of convenience. What used to be a relatively quick and simple interchange between mainline and underground services, has turned into a route march. Maybe they think we need more exercise.
