Denmark Hill
The main line (ex-LCDR) platforms at Denmark Hill, looking towards Victoria, on 9th December 2012. On the left are the ex-LBSCR platforms that became part of London Overground on this very day, spelling the end of the long-established South London Metro service, to the chagrin of many south London residents. The grandiose building on the bridge was severely damaged by fire in 1980 and BR wanted to demolish the remains. However, a campaign spearheaded by Sir John Betjeman fought against this and the building was thankfully renovated. Most of it is now a pub/restaurant.
