Designed by John Rennie, this was the first of three bridges he built on the Thames in London. Constructed between 1811 - 16, the new bridge was 27ft wide and 2,346 ft long. The bridge was supported by nine arches faced and decorated by a pair of Doric columns on each pier.
Originally known as the Strand Bridge, in 1816 it was renamed Waterloo Bridge and officially opened by the Prince Regent on 18 June 1817, the second anniversary of the Duke of Wellington's famous victory.
Waterloo Bridge was purchased by the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1878 and freed of tolls, in an ceremony performed by the Prince and Princess of Wales.
However, the new owners discovered that the foundations were in serious need of repair, the removal of the old London Bridge had increased the tidal scour of the Thames and the foundations of Waterloo Bridge had been undermined. Each pier was subsequently reinforced between 1882 - 84.
By 1923 serious settlement was found in the three central piers and attempts were made to pump concrete under the sinking piers but the bridge was closed as unsafe. Although conservationists wanted the bridge restored, the London County Council considered that the bridge should be replaced and commissioned the architect Sir Gilbert Scot to replace the disused bridge and temporary structure with a new bridge.
Work began in 1937 but the official foundation stone, cut out of a stone from the old bridge, was not laid until 1939. With its completion was delayed by World War II, and few men available, most of the work was carried out by female labour. Waterloo Bridge was the first to be made with reinforced concrete beams. During its construction the bridge was damaged by enemy action on several occasions - the only Thames crossing to suffer in this way.
In 1942 the 'Ladies Bridge' was opened to pedestrians and two lanes of traffic. The completed bridge was finally opened in 1945. At 80 ft wide and 1,250 ft long and 80 ft wide, Waterloo Bridge is the longest bridge in London.
To round off tonight's batch we have this, which I was unexpectedly confronted with when I popped into Waterloo one afternoon. 'The KP Express" it said, but the branding didn't seem to tie in with the KP of Crisps & Nuts fame.

The Waterloo Masonic Temple stands as a testament to the strength of Waterloo's fraternal orders and voluntary associations of the early twentieth century. It is locally significant under Criterion A as a representative of the long trend and practice of joining ""communities"" of like-minded individuals with shared common interests as membership declined in traditional family and kinship relationships. The Masons happen to claim roots in ancient times and have long-standing secretive rituals, and this temple's proximity to the Elks building just across the street invites comparison with the decidedly different roots and practices of that group. Further, the Masonic Temple is locally significant as an example of the work of a master architect, John G. Ralston, a dedicated Mason himself, who designed the building in a monumental scale replete with the appropriate embellishments and symbols in a style that could nominally be called ""Phoenician Revival."" In doing so he ensured the Masonic Temple's lasting significance to the local community. The period of significance runs from 1928, when the interior was finally completed and the public came to appreciate it as a monumental addition to the Waterloo streetscape, to 1963, the arbitrary cut-off of the National Register guidelines. The year 1928 is significant as the year the interior could be finished and the building put into service by the Masons.

Waterloo station, 13 September 2015. Originally built by the London and South Western Railway in 1848 and expanded several times in the 19th Century in a hapazard manner. In 1910-1922 (with a pause for the Great War), the LSWR completely rebuilt the station to its present state. Illustrated are the Windsor Lines plaforms.

London Waterloo railway station is a major railway station and transport interchange complex in London, England. The station is named after the Battle of Waterloo in which Napoleon was defeated near Brussels. Somewhat ironically, it is now London's gateway for train passengers from France and Belgium. The original mainline Waterloo Station was opened on 11 July 1848 by the London and South Western Railway.
