Charing Cross railway station |
|
 Charing Cross railway station is a central London railway terminus. It is unusual among London's railway termini in that its services connect it to two of the others, Waterloo East and London Bridge. It is one of 17 stations managed by Network Rail, and trains serving it are operated by Southeastern and Southern.
Charing Cross was opened in 1864. The station was the product of the Southern Eastern Railway's need to extend westward from London Bridge and get its Kent passengers right into London. Today over 37 million people pass through Charing Cross every year. The railway station was designed by John Hawkshaw and opened in 1864. In the late 20th century an office complex was erected above the railway platforms. The Hungerford Railway Bridge (1864), which links the station to southern London, was repaired in the late 1970s The station is situated near the river Thames close to Waterloo Station, which lies on the other side of the river.
