This lavish photographic history of the most beautiful and historic railway stations in London tells a story of power, progress and innovation, from the beginning of steam age to the teeming commuter hubs of today.
London hasmore mainline railway stationsthan any other city in the world and many of them are amongst itsgrandest architectural monuments.Its earliest terminals opened in the late 1830s when lines between the capital and the regions were built in the first railway boom. The original station at London Bridge, the capital's first passenger terminus, was opened in December 1836, six months before Queen Victoria came to the throne. The last main line to London, the Great Central Railway to Marylebone, was opened in March 1899, two years before Victoria died.
Ever since they originally opened, these stations have been atheart of London lifeand activity and have dominated the architectural landscape. Many are now in the midst of major reconstructions and are thecentrepiecesfor the transformation of whole swathes of London, from Paddington to King's Cross.
Thiscomprehensive storycombines a historical overview, archive illustrations andspecially commissioned photography, covering the origins of the earliest stations up to the latest reconstructions and renovations.
Written by the expert author Oliver Green, this is anessential gift for anyone interested in the history of London and its transport.
