Peckham Rye station: between the viaducts

Image: © Christopher Hilton Taken: 2 Jun 2011

Peckham Rye station comprises two separate viaducts with the station building (on the extreme right in this picture) lying between them forming the link. (This reflects its origin as a station shared by two separate railway companies: the London, Chatham and Dover on the northern viaduct, and the London, Brighton and South Coast on the southern one.) Here the view is from a train stopped on the southern viaduct (at an island platform which thus lies behind the photographer), heading into London Bridge (to the right), looking across at the line running from Kent (to the right) into Victoria (to the left). The area between is used by light industry based in the viaduct arches.
