Seen here from Salamanca Street in Lambeth, the viaduct was completed in 1848 in order to extend the London & South Western Railway from Nine Elms to Waterloo.
The Nine Elms to Waterloo Viaduct is a large Victorian railway viaduct in south London.[1][2] The viaduct is 2 miles (3.2 km) in length[3] and carries the South West Main Line into Waterloo station. Initially constructed in 1848, the viaduct begins in eastern Battersea in Nine Elms and with an intermediate station at Vauxhall incorporated within the viaduct, the viaduct terminates at Waterloo. The viaduct comprises six iron girder bridges, with a combined weight of 800 long tons (810 tonnes), and over 290 arches[2] (excluding those beneath the Waterloo Bridge terminus).[4] The brick sections of the viaduct are composed of some 80,000,000 bricks.[5] The viaduct is managed by Network Rail, who in turn lease many of the arches for commercial, retail and industrial use.
