The Victory Arch, the station's main entrance, was constructed by James Robb Scott and commemorates Britain's involvement in World War I.
The early 20th-century reconstruction of Waterloo included a stained glass window with the London and South Western Railway's crest.
In this photo taken in 2012, the then-disused Grimshaw-designed shed of the former Waterloo International can be seen nearer to the camera, with the older train shed behind. In the foreground are the Shell Centre (left) and County Hall (right).
