We've gone behind the scenes to look at restoration works at one of London's most famous railway arches.
The end of Tooley Street next to London Bridge Station was known as Findlater's cornerA derelict set of railway arches that was once home to one of London's finest wine and spirits merchants has been restored as part of a £3m investment.
Renovations, which began in 2022, have seen the Edwardian façade, which was added at the turn of the last century, restored.At the time, the glazed terracotta tiles, known as Carrara ware by Royal Doulton, were described as a "wonder material of the time". Now a familiar motif within the spirit's industry, it is thought its inclusion above the Findlater, Mackie and Todd shop was one of the first times it was used to promote whiskey.
Railway stations were a popular location for tea rooms because at the time they had access to the freshest milk, often transported from farms on trains before being sent to urban milk dairies.
