  1. [1] London Bridge Station Opened in 1836, London Bridge is the capital’s oldest rail terminus. Travelling by steam train, Victorian passengers soared above the streets of Bermondsey to Greenwich on the viaduct of 6000 arches, the longest of its kind in Britain. Pedestrian boulevards with a pennny toll originally ran either side of the traces, inspiring the modern Low Line walking route.

As well as spices, tea and coffee, all manner of goods passed through the busy docks. At its height in the nineteenth century, Hay’s Wharf, now Hay’s Galleria, handled 80% of Londons imported dry goods, earning its nickname the Larder of London. [3] London Bridge First built in 50AD, London Bridge was the only bridge in London until the 18th Century. A gateway to Southwark’s illicit pleasures and a firebreak for the Great Fire of London, the medieval bridge, opened in 1209, had houses, shops, churches and a gatehouse that displayed the severed heads of traitors. Today's bridge opened 50 metres downstream in 1973.
