The Charing-Cross Railway: covered way leading to the platform, 1864. Creator: Unknown
The Charing-Cross Railway: covered way leading to the platform, 1864. 'In no part of London has a greater improvement been made than upon the spot where Hungerford Market once stood. Not a vestige of the various structures now remain...the riverside between Villiers-street and Craven-street, has been altered, and the site is occupied by an immense railway station - the West-end terminus of the Charing-cross Railway...it stands about 100 ft. from the Strand roadway...it has about 200 ft. width of frontage, and...its ground floor will be set apart for booking-offices, refreshment-rooms, &c., and all its upper stories will be used for hotel purposes... At the bottom of Villiers-street is a communication by means of which steam-boat passengers use the Hungerford landing-pier...A person may now go from Charing-cross to Blackfriars, by means of the new railway, in three minutes; to London Bridge in ten minutes: to Spa-road in fourteen minutes; to Deptford in twenty-one minutes; and to Greenwich in twenty-five minutes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864
