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.

Water Tower at York Stairs (1780) Not far from the former York Stairs, now buried under the Embankment near Charing Cross, stood a wooden tower, erected in 1695 for supplying the Strand and its neighbourhood with water from the Thames. 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.
