Lambeth North
Exterior of the LUL Bakerloo Line station at Lambeth North, on 22nd February 2014. This station was designed by Leslie W. Green, the Underground's Chief Architect of the Edwardian period who died in 1908 aged only 34. It opened as Kennington Road, the temporary southern terminus of the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway, on 10th March 1906. It was renamed Westminster Bridge Road on 5th August 1906, when the line was extended one stop to its current south-east London terminus at Elephant & Castle, and yet again to Lambeth North on 15th April 1917. The name 'Bakerloo' is a corruption of BAKER Street & WaterLOO Railway and a belated extension to Lewisham is now being studied and open to public consultation.
