Necropolis Station
121 Westminster Bridge Road. I'm pretty sure that this was formerly the station of the Necropolis Railway, which took mourners and caskets out to Brookwood Cemetery south of London. A bomb hit the station in 1941, and only this facade remains.
"From this building operated London’s only one-way train service. Founded in 1854 in response to the city-wide cholera epidemic, the Necropolis and its hearse-carriages took the dead of London (as many as fifty a day) to their final destination. Brookwood Cemetery, Surrey, the world’s largest at the time, contained separate platforms for Anglican and Non-Conformist deceased, and the station even had a licensed bar (with a sign that read ‘Spirits Served Here’). The first Necropolis was demolished in 1900 to allow for the expansion of Waterloo Station. This replacement continued to function until after the Second World War and while the ground floor has been converted into a mezzanine, much of the building’s original features remain."
