London Gets A New Attraction On Monday
One of my Google Alerts found this article on the Network Rail web site, which is entitled New London Bridge station concourse to open this Bank Holiday.
I’m surprised that the new concourse is actually opening on the Bank Holiday, but I’ll be going with my camera.
It’s been a long time coming and I hope the new station lives up to its billing!

I am planning on taking a look on Tuesday and thought I would approach it by underground from Waterloo East. Do you think I will be able to see much of the new station without a mainline ticket as I won’t be able to progress through the barriers? Kind Regards, M.

I assume you’re getting sround London using Oyster or a contactless bank card. You could take a train to South Bermondsey station using Oyster and then you can go for a walk around the massive viaducts. I did it here.
It’s a great insight into a non-touristy part of London, that’s very poleasant.
You don’t have to go far. Another place for a nice walk is Crystal Palace.

Yes, I will be using my Oyster card. I’ve walked at least part of the Millwall footpath before, passing the football ground and continuing on to Canary Wharfhttps://lovetravellingallaroundtheworld.wordpress.com/category/europe/united-kingdom/london-may-2016/ so I might try the Crystal Palace walk you suggest if the weather remains settled. Thanks for your response.
