Information on London Charing Cross Station



On 8 August 1859 a scheme was approved by Parliament involving a high level route forward from London Bridge station to a point between Westminster and Waterloo Bridges. The project was delayed while negotiations for the purchase of St Thomas's Hospital took place, but work eventually started in 1862 near the Hungerford Market, this involved the removal of some 8,000 bodies from the College Burial Ground. Trains started arriving over the Hungerford Bridge and into Charing Cross station on 11 January 1864. The lattice girder bridge at the Southern end of Charing Cross station was the work of Sir John Hawkshaw, also the architect for Charing Cross station.

At the opposite end of Charing Cross station is the Charing Cross Hotel, a seven storey building in the French Renaissance style with an elegant interior, designed by Edward Middleton Barry, and opened on 15 May 1865, and extending across the whole station front, a replica of the Eleanor Cross was also erected on the station forecourt. The original 13th Century cross was in Whitehall but was demolished in 1647.

Distances in London are officially measured from the original site of the cross in Whitehall where a statue of Charles I now stands.

Charing Cross station is a central London railway terminus, taking its name from its location next to the central London road junction of the same name, the front of the station facing The Strand.

Charing Cross is unusual among London's other railway termini, its services connect it to two other London terminus stations, London Waterloo (via Waterloo East) and London Bridge, it is also one of the seventeen station managed in the United Kingdom by Network Rail, and is the fifth busiest rail terminus in London.

In 1990 the station roof was replaced with a post modern office and shopping complex costing in the region £130 million, designed by Terry Farrell and Partners.
