As of this week @NetworkRailLBG now has these relief panels (on the renewed Stainer St walls) showing the station’s evolution between 1836 and 2018. They’re well worth pausing to read; they include photos from @railwaymuseum archive alongside- and they’re permanent.

Suspended from the roof are three steel domes 4.5m - 6.5m wide: an artwork by Mark Titchner called ‘Me. Here. Now.’ and the words on them - I rather like:
“Only the first step is difficult.
The distance means nothing.
One foot in front of the other.”

Through the portal. The line of Stainer Street @SE1 is tonight clear for us all to enjoy: this once exhaust-filled tunnel beneath @NetworkRailLBG station is now a brick-lined vault of peace and quiet - yet within Britain’s 4th busiest station.pic.twitter.com/moDC2NZsBj
One final, somewhat sobering, tweet in this series. For at one end of renewed, revealed, vaulted Stainer Street - deep beneath London Bridge station - is this plaque. It marks the deaths of 68 people who were sheltering from a Nazi air raid in 1941.pic.twitter.com/Z0tOEO27Ps
