Southwark Underground Station, London, England

 

By far one of my favourite Underground stations on the London Underground network, I always seem to find something new to photograph here everytime I visit.

 

I have some excellent news that I would like to share with you. I have had some of my photos displayed and on display in a small exhibition at The Trafalgar Square Hotel in Leicester Square, London with the help of ArtVogue. This is a really big achievement for me and also a first for me. I will get some photos up when shortly but you are best visiting it in person, it will be on display over Christmas and if your in London pop over to have a look. Hope you enjoy it.

Location Information

Southwark is a London Underground station in the London Borough of Southwark at the corner of Blackfriars Road and The Cut. It is between Waterloo and London Bridge stations on the Jubilee line and is in Travelcard Zone 1. It was opened on 20 November 1999 as part of the Jubilee Line Extension. The station is somewhat west of historic Southwark, which is served by Borough tube station and London Bridge station. Its entrance is across the street from the disused Blackfriars Road railway station.

 

The original plan for the Extension did not include a station between those at Waterloo and London Bridge; Southwark station was added after lobbying by the local council, it is in fact sited right next to the borough's boundary with Lambeth at Joane Street. Although it is close to Waterloo, not near the Bankside attractions it was intended to serve, and its only National Rail interchange is to London Waterloo East main line station; the passenger usage matches those of other minor central stations. It does however get over double the traffic of nearby Borough station and around triple Lambeth North.
