William Shakespeare TUM image id: 1509551019 Licence:	The Hole In The Wall, Waterloo. A noted venue for many a traveller awaiting their train or ending their evening. Credit: Virtual Tourist TUM image id: 1605093975 Licence:	Overflow of the Thames at Lambeth Stairs on Tuesday 29 January 1850. Lambeth Stairs was near to Lambeth Palace. Poor river wall maintenance meant that the area was flooded whenever there was an unusually high tide.

TUM image id: 1556885410 Licence:	Hungerford Stairs circa 1828 Hungerford Stairs led down to the water, where landings could be made. The formation of floating piers at the quay facilitated the arrival and departure of numerous steam boats that left during the summer months every quarter of an hour, for the City, Westminster, and Vauxhall, and at other times for Greenwich and Woolwich. When Hungerford Market was sold to the South Eastern Railway, the railway company demolished the stairs, building Charing Cross railway station over the top of the site.

In a print published in 1780, the wooden tower is shown. It was an octangular structure about seventy feet high, with small round loopholes as windows to light the interior.

The original, Brunel-built Hungerford Bridge. TUM image id: 1544479084 Licence:	Royal Festival Hall and Shot Tower c.1959 The photo was taken from Hungerford Bridge.

It’s no longer a shop and - to my horror - my walk from Elephant & Castle to Lambeth North passes it at 7:24 and doesn’t note it as I found out only afterwards.
