London Blackfriars is one of the capital鈥檚 most unusual railway stations because its platforms extend across the River Thames on a bridge linking the City of London with the South Bank. The station developed from 19th-century railway infrastructure and was extensively rebuilt in the 21st century, gaining entrances on both sides of the river and a large roof covered with solar panels. Trains pass directly through the station while passengers enjoy unusually open views along the Thames toward central London landmarks and the surrounding skyline.
