Peckham Rye station began operating in 1865, with an open square in front.

It was designed by the noted Victorian architect Charles Henry Driver, who also designed some of London's great pumping stations.

It is unknown whether Driver was also a fan of billiards - opportunities to play on the green baize seem to dominate the station whether by design or accident.

The image features a huge group of men. It's also unknown if they are the station's many billiards players gathered for a group photo.
