Ludgate Hill railway station

Ludgate Hill was a railway station in central London. It was opened on 1 June 1865 by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway ( LC & DR ) and was on Ludgate Viaduct between Queen Victoria Street and Ludgate Hill on the western edge of the City of London.

North of the station led the viaduct on to Snow Hill Tunnel, which creates a connection to the only recently opened Metropolitan Railway at Farringdon and so the operation of continuous trains between the north and south of London enabled.

Passenger traffic through the tunnel was set on June 1, 1916, and the trains were only a few hundred meters to the railway terminus opened in 1874 Holborn Viaduct. Due to the short distance between Holborn Viaduct and Blackfriars of Ludgate Hill station was hardly used and finally closed on 3 March 1929.

In 1990, the remains of the station were demolished, as well as the Ludgate Viaduct and the Holborn Viaduct Station. From the station, nothing has been preserved and is on the site of an office building on a newly constructed tunnel that connects the old Snow Hill tunnel to the Blackfriars Station. Just north of the old station Ludgate Hill is located in the tunnel, the City Thameslink station.
