Liverpool Station

Opened in 1874 Liverpool Station is one of the busiest in London with a 123 million people passing through each year. It was the first place in London to be hit by a German Bomber in WWI, killing 162 people. In the late 1930's many refugee Jewish Children arrived as part of the kindertransport.  One of the sculptures to honour them can be seen beneath the blue meeting point sign.
When the new cross rail opens in 2018 Liverpool Station will be one of the stops.
