Here is the main entrance to Waterloo station, which doubles as a memorial to the employees of the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) who lost their lives in the two world wars.
Waterloo was built by the LSWR as the terminus for their services to destinations ranging from south west London to the south coast and the far west of England.
Waterloo is now the terminal for South West Trains, who run third-rail electric trains to south west London and the south coast, and a diesel service to Salisbury and Exeter as a remnant of the old LSWR west country services.

 The Growth of London's Transport
The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway was at the time using the South Eastern's Cannon Street as an auxiliary terminus, and this station was served also by the London and North Western Railway, while both the Great Western and the North Western used Victoria.
The Victoria Station and Pimlico Company continued to exist as a separate undertaking until 1923, when it was absorbed by the Southern Railway under the grouping scheme, but the Great Western and London and North Western services had been withdrawn long before that date.
The latter station was opened in 1860, with the primary purpose of providing a West End terminus for the London, Brighton and South Coast and London, Chatham and Dover Railways.

 Channel Tunnel
This connects London 's Waterloo station (incidentally, named for the Napoleonic battle between the UK and France) with the Gare du Nord station in Paris and with Brussels Midi/Zuid station, with stops at Ashford, Calais -Frethun and Lille.
The British government has instituted the Channel Tunnel Rail Link project, a partly government-funded scheme to build a dedicated high-speed line from London to the tunnel entrance.
Although Eurostar trains travel at high speeds in France (where the tracks are modern and custom-made for the standard TGV cruising speed of 186mph / 300kph), and within the tunnel (at up to 100mph / 160kph), their speed in Kent is limited by the relatively low-speed tracks over which they must run.
