Cannon Street is a National Rail and London Underground station complex in the City of London, the financial district of London in England. It is built on the site of the medieval Steelyard, the trading base in England of the Hanseatic League.
Built for the South Eastern Railway, the station was constructed, with its hotel, in 1865 - 67. The station's cast-iron roof was supported on walls that matched the design of the train-shed side of the hotel. The South Eastern Railway merged with the London, Chatham and Dover Railway to become the South Eastern and Chatham. This railway was the sworn enemy of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, based at London Bridge Station. The station connects the south side of the City to south and south east London via London Bridge rail station. Some services run directly into Cannon Street from Kent and East Sussex, but only during rush hours. Occasionally during the weekends when track maintenance is in progress, the station serves as an intermediate station between London Bridge and Charing Cross. Either trains reverse at the station or rail passengers change trains here Service | Details |
