The West End of London and Crystal Palace railway was one of the earlier lines in South London, its objective being to cash in on the large number of visitors expected to the Crystal Palace following it's removal from Hyde Park after the 1851 Great Exhibition. This attraction was rebuilt 1852-1854 with significant enlargement, but burnt down in 1936. The original terminus was here, opening in 1854, and was laid out spaciously in anticipation of heavy traffic. Now in 2007 as in 1979, this side of the station sees very little use.
