Built in the 1830s, London Bridge is the oldest train station in London and one of the oldest in the world.

A major component of the 7bn Thameslink Programme involved the redevelopment and reconfiguration of London Bridge Station. It was one of the most complex and ambitious rail station redevelopments in the UK, including complex multi-staged infrastructure realignment and the complete rebuild of London Bridge station while maintaining operations.

The aim of the 1bn station design and construction project has been to fully remodel the station, add new platforms and a vast new concourse, designed to provide a significant improvement to the passenger experience. It was expected to increase the number of passengers from 42 million to between 50 and 75 million people a year.
