London Necropolis railway station was the terminus at Waterloo, London, of the London Necropolis Railway. The London Necropolis Railway was opened in 1854 as a reaction to severe overcrowding in London's existing graveyards and cemeteries. It aimed to use the recently developed technology of the railway to move as many burials as possible to the newly built Brookwood Cemetery in Brookwood, Surrey. This location was within easy travelling distance of London, but distant enough for the dead not to pose any risk to public hygiene. There were two locations for the station; the first was in operation from 1854 to 1902, the second from 1902 to 1941.

La stazione di Londra Necropolis era una stazione ferroviaria di Londra, capolinea settentrionale della ferrovia della Necropoli di Londra. La ferrovia della Necropoli di Londra fu aperta nel 1854 a causa del sovraffollamento negli esistenti cimiteri di Londra; utilizzando la tecnologia di recente sviluppo, questa ferrovia serviva per spostare il maggior numero possibile di tombe verso l'appena costruito cimitero di Brookwood, a Brookwood nel Surrey.Questa posizione era a una non eccessiva distanza da Londra e, al contempo, sufficientemente lontano per non creare rischi di salute e igiene pubblica. La ferrovia è rimasta attiva dal 1854 al 1902, prima, e dal 1902 al 1941, dopo.

London Necropolis railway station was the terminus at Waterloo, London, of the London Necropolis Railway. The London Necropolis Railway was opened in 1854 as a reaction to severe overcrowding in London's existing graveyards and cemeteries. It aimed to use the recently developed technology of the railway to move as many burials as possible to the newly built Brookwood Cemetery in Brookwood, Surrey. This location was within easy travelling distance of London, but distant enough for the dead not to pose any risk to public hygiene. There were two locations for the station; the first was in operation from 1854 to 1902, the second from 1902 to 1941. Although it had its own branch line into Brookwood Cemetery, most of the route of the London Necropolis Railway ran on the existing London and South Western Railway (LSWR). Consequently, a site was selected in Waterloo, near the LSWR's recently opened London terminus at Waterloo Bridge station (now London Waterloo). The building was specifically designed for the use of mourners. It had many private waiting rooms, which could also be used to hold funeral services, and a hydraulic lift to raise coffins to platform level. Existing railway arches were used for the storage of bodies. In 1899 the location of the terminus was blocking the expansion of Waterloo station. After much negotiation, the LSWR reached agreement with the London Necropolis Company, the owners of the cemetery and the railway: in return for the existing site, the LSWR re-equipped the London Necropolis Railway and supplied it with a new station on Westminster Bridge Road. This new building was designed to contrast with other funeral directors' premises by being as attractive as possible. In 1902 the railway moved into the new building, and the earlier station was demolished. On 16 April 1941, during World War II the station was heavily damaged in an air raid. Much of the building was destroyed and the tracks to the station were rendered unusable. Although some funeral trains continued to run from nearby Waterloo station, the London terminus was never used again. Following the end of the war the London Necropolis Company decided that reopening the London Necropolis Railway was not financially worthwhile, and the surviving part of the station building was sold as office space. This remnant remains intact, and relatively unaltered since its opening.

La ferrovia è rimasta attiva dal 1854 al 1902, prima, e dal 1902 al 1941, dopo. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, nella notte tra il 16 e il 17 aprile 1941, in uno degli ultimi raid aerei su Londra, le bombe sono ripetutamente cadute sull'area di Waterloo, distruggendo la stazione di Londra Necropolis, rimasta intatta durante i precedenti raid. La maggior parte dell'edificio è andato distrutto e i binari della stazione sono diventati inagibili. Benché alcuni treni funerari continuassero a viaggiare dalla vicina stazione di Waterloo, questa stazione non è stata più utilizzata ed è stata dichiarata ufficialmente chiusa l'11 maggio 1941. Dopo la fine della guerra, la compagnia che gestiva la linea, la London Necropolis Company, ha deciso che una riapertura della ferrovia della Necropoli di Londra non sarebbe stata finanziariamente sostenibile; è stato pertanto deciso di vendere la parte di edificio sopravvissuto.
