This was the first mainline railway terminus in London, but not a
trace of the original stations remain, as it has been rebuilt from the
ground up. It is now airy, spacious and vast, but as with many new
stations, has few seats.


Destroying all the historic side is hardly something to be proud of. This

An act of barbaric historic vandalism just to no doubt save the developers a
few quid. The current London bridge is typical 21st century regional university
sports hall design bland and will look as tired and dated in 30 years time as
most 80s buildings do now.
