In 1740, the Commissioners of Westminster Bridge began acquiring land for the southern approach to the bridge, leading to the creation of Westminster Bridge Road. (en.wikipedia.org) The road has since evolved into a vital artery connecting the City of Westminster and Lambeth. Notable landmarks along its route include the Florence Nightingale Museum, housed within St Thomas' Hospital, and the Lincoln Memorial Tower, commemorating Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation. The area also features the Roman Catholic St George's Cathedral, Southwark, and Morley College, an adult education institution. (en.wikipedia.org) Historically, Westminster Bridge Road has been home to various public buildings and landmarks, including the London Necropolis Railway station, which operated from 1902 until its closure during World War II.
