UK - London - Commuters enter reconstructed Blackfriars station

Londoners commuting through the entrance of the newly-finished Blackfriars mainline Station in the City of London. A larger and more accessible Blackfriars Underground station reopened for public service to accommodate more than 40,000 passengers every day. Blackfriars station was opened as St Paul's by the London Chatham and Dover Railway (LC&DR) in May 1886. St Paul's station was renamed Blackfriars on 1 February 1937 and is now a central London railway terminus and London Underground complex in the City of London. Its platforms span the River Thames a short distance downstream from Blackfriars Bridge.
