Victorian splendour by peadar

Victorian splendour

One for the Extras album: London Bridge station, which serves lines to the south and south-east of London, is one of the key hub stations for commuters and visitors alike. It has undergone a much needed multi-billion £ makeover over the past five years, and in the process the architects and planners have been revealing to a modern customer many of the Victorian design features of the original stations that were built here. These vaulted ceilings now accommodate retail outlets and many pass through here oblivious to their surroundings. For me it is difficult not to look up, and admire the engineering of the past.
Wonderful architecture and wonderful picture. I like the light and the sense of busy activity of the people. Fav

I quite like the new facelift on London Bridge. Certainly better than the old version! Super shot

A lovely composition, I really like the way the ceiling lights lead the eye off into the far distance.

They really have made a good job of it. It’s like a completely different station. You’ve captured those arches beautifully

A bit different to what I remember back in the 70s and 80s.

Well captured, like the 'lightness' of it.

A wonderful capture. I like to incorporate the new into old architecture. I am aware that if it was not for this relationship, the old one would be destroyed forever.

@haskar I agree, it's the way it should be done.
