Inside Rotherhithe Tube Station
Due to the extension of the East London line, and the consequent use of longer trains, it was thought that Rotherhithe station might have had to have closed when the line was extended; however on 16 August 2004 the Mayor of London announced that the station will stay open [1] (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/rail/initiatives/ell-stations.shtml).
