caption_attribution_description: English: Pimlico terminus from a woodcut in The Illustrated News of the World 10 April 1858
context_page_description: Pimlico terminus was a railway station built beside the new Chelsea Bridge, across the road from the new Battersea Gardens. It was at the end of a 3 mi 20 ch extension of the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway from Wandsworth Common. Confusingly, the station was not actually in Pimlico, which is on the other bank of the river; to reach it, Pimlico residents had to cross Chelsea Bridge which opened a week after the station.
  Its 22 acres site formally opened on Saturday 27 March 1858 and passengers used it from 29 March. Herapath's Journal said it, "was much admired for its spaciousness, convenient design, and economical construction".
  There were 9 trains a day to Brighton and 25 to London Bridge. Pimlico closed on the eve of the opening of Victoria on 1 October 1860. Apart from Maiden Lane, it was the shortest lived London terminal.

It was at the end of a 3 mi 20 ch (5.2 km) extension of the West End of London and Crystal Palace Railway from Wandsworth Common. Confusingly, the station was not actually in Pimlico, which is on the other (northern) bank of the river; to reach it, Pimlico residents had to cross Chelsea Bridge (at that time called Victoria Bridge) which opened a week after the station.
  Its 22 acres (8.9 ha) site formally opened on Saturday 27 March 1858 and passengers used it from 29 March. Herapath's Journal said it, "was much admired for its spaciousness, convenient design, and economical construction".
