GROSVENOR ROAD

(L.B.S.C.R.: 1870 - 1907)
(L.C.D.R.: 1867 - 1911)

 

As strange as it may seem now, Victoria station was opened as a dual station, with a clear physical division between the two operating companies (which is still apparent today). Grosvenor Road station, on the north bank of the Thames, and only a short distance from Victoria, therefore also had 'dual nationality'. The LBSCR side closed in 1907, while the LCDR side lingered on until 1911.

Grosvenor Road station seen at the bottom of the map by the V of Grosvenor Road. Its close proximity to Victoria station is obvious from this map.

View of the handsome LCDR station building. The lower level has been boarded up for many years but the upstairs has been in regular use for some purpose. (May 2006)

The station building viewed from track level. As the platforms were of wooden constructoin, there is now a distinct lack of platform evidence. (May 2006)
