Nine Elms formerly was the London terminus of the London and South Western Railway -the forerunner of South West Trains- but in 1848 Waterloo station opened and became the London terminus. The area where the railway station was located became a locomotive and goods depot for the railway company before being sold and transformed into the New Covent Garden Market.
