If you visit may I urge a short stroll to see LBSCR’s Battersea Park Station gem of 1867 too? Pevsner calls it “Lush Italianate”. Its lofty ticket hall by C.H.Driver is an *incredible* survivor. Note too, original ironwork and the wooden Platform 1.

Just looked it up in Pevsner (c1971) where there is nothing to suggest that exterior changed after 1631. Indeed the chimneys feature in Mercier’s famous painting of Frederick Prince of Wales.
