In the foreground, the disused island platform of the former Spa Road & South Bermondsey station. This was operated by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (the photograph is taken from the adjacent lines of what was once the London Brighton and South Coast Railway, whose own South Bermondsey station some way to the south remains open) but closed due to staff shortages during the First World War and never reopened.
