1864 The London, Chatham and Dover Railway opened a temporary station at Ludgate Hill in London.

1865 After delays due to the concerns of the City of London Corporation about the viaduct over Ludgate Hill, the permanent station was opened. Both the London and South Western Railway and the Great Northern Railway, having contributed to the costs of the LC&DR's extension, gained access to the station at Ludgate Hill.

1891 Plans were announced for alterations to the station, reflecting its mainly local traffic; through lines were to be installed by replacing one of the island platforms; the main line express trains would pass through to stop at St. Paul's Station or Holborn Viaduct Railway Station.
