The WestEnd of London and Crystal Palace Railway WELCPR was an early railway company in south London between Crystal Palace railway station Crystal Palace station and Wandsworth , which was opened in 1856. The line was extended in 1858 to a station at Battersea Wharf which was misleadingly named Pimlico . Throughout its brief existence the railway was operated by the London Brighton and South Coast Railway LB&SCR to which it was leased in 1858 and sold in 1859. This relatively short line was of considerable importance to the history of railways of south London as it was the first line to create a corridor from the south and east towards Westminster and led to the development of London Victoria railway station . History To coincide with the reopening of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham Hill on 10 June 1854, the LB&SCR opened a short spur line linking a new Crystal Palace railway station Crystal Palace station to its Sydenham railway station London Sydenham station on the Brighton main line from London Bridge railway station London Bridge .
