It occupies a large area on three levels immediately south-east of London Bridge , from which it takes its name. The main line station is the oldest railway station in London fare zone 1 and one of the oldest in the world having opened in 1836. It is one of two main line termini in London to the south of the River Thames (the other being Waterloo ) and is the fourth-busiest station in London, handling over 50 million customers a year.The station was originally opened by the London and Greenwich Railway as a local service. It subsequently served the London and Croydon Railway , the London and Brighton Railway and the South Eastern Railway , thus becoming an important London terminus. It was rebuilt in 1849 and again in 1864 to provide more services and increase capacity. Local services from London Bridge began to be electrified in the beginning of the 20th century, and had spread to national routes by the 1930s. The station was extensively rebuilt by British Rail during the 1970s, along with a comprehensive re-signalling scheme and track alignment. It was further redeveloped in the 2010s to better accommodate the Thameslink route which provides a connection to Gatwick Airport , Luton Airport and Crossrail .London Bridge is served by Southeastern services from Charing Cross and Cannon Street to destinations in southeast London, Kent and East Sussex and is a terminus for many Southern commuter and regional services to south London and numerous destinations in South East England. Thameslink services from Bedford, Cambridge and Peterborough to Brighton and other destinations in Sussex and Kent began serving the station in 2018.Contents 1 Location 2 History 2.1 London and Greenwich Railway station 2.2 London and Croydon Railway station 2.3 Joint station 2.4 South Eastern Railway station 2.5 London Brighton and South Coast Railway station 2.6 Southern Railway station 2.7 British Railways station 2.8 Thameslink Programme 3 National Rail station 3.1 Services 4 London Underground station 4.1 Northern line 4.2 Jubilee line 5 Connections 6 Accidents and incidents 7 References 8 External links Location [ edit ]The main line station is one of 19 UK stations managed by Network Rail .
