Building Victoria Station: An Exciting Time of Expansion and Progress in Early 20th Century London (1905) In this photograph, we witness an extraordinary moment in London's transportation history as Victoria Station undergoes a significant expansion. The image, taken from Buckingham Palace Road in 1905, showcases the station's extension from its original five platforms to a grand total of thirteen. This extension was a crucial development, allowing the station to accommodate three trains simultaneously, enhancing its capacity and efficiency. The construction process is in full swing, with scaffolding and building materials evident throughout the scene. The station's architectural beauty is on display, with the red brick and ornate details of the new additions contrasting against the older, more traditional Victorian structures.
