Requiem for London-Waterloo International (Closure: 13th November 2007 !!!). Setting the tone: panels obstructing the escalators from the domestic concourse down to the Eurostar Departures concourse, looking West (Thames River). Posters in English, French and Dutch are here as a reminder to negligent travellers, with useful directions to St-Pancras International... London-Waterloo (ex) International. 1st May 2008.

Requiem for London-Waterloo International (Closure: 13th November 2007 !!!). Former Eurostar Departures concourse (public area), looking the restricted area. Check-in barriers and ticket-collecting machines (further right) were removed shortly after the closure, so as to be fitted in Ebbsfleet International on time before its opening on 19th November 2007. The clock has grinned to a halt, while blue panels also hide Eurostar logos left to the Departures board. Pic made from the domestic concourse, close to Victory Arch.

Requiem for London-Waterloo International (Closure: 13th November 2007 !!!). West end: former entry for Cab users. Eurostar logos and Labels for Waterloo International have gone, but their stigma have remained... The North entry to that street is blocked, and as a result, road traffic has dramatically collapsed. Pic made from the pedestrian gangway through the Shell House, to the Thames and the London Eye. London-Waterloo (ex) International. 1st May 2008. P.L.Guillemin (plguillemin@yahoo.fr)
