Ex-LSW Drummond M7 class 0-4-4T No. 30245 (built 4/1897, withdrawn 11/62 but preserved in the National Collection at York) is seen in the yard of this large and famous Depot, which served the passenger trains from Waterloo and freight trains from Nine Elms Goods. It adjoined the latter to the south of the main lines, south of Vauxhall. In the 1950s the Depot had an allocation of nearly 100 steam locomotives of all types and it remained active until the end of steam working into Waterloo in 7/67, after which the New Covent Garden Market was built over the site.
