Following the arc of St Pancras’ sprawling train tracks, Rufford Street sits somewhere to the south of north London’s favourite super-club, Egg. Once home to a very different kind of railway, the street was the site of a funeral railway station belonging to the Great Northern London Cemetery Company, who aimed to alleviate overcrowding of the city’s cemeteries by taking bodies further afield. Sadly, they only traded successfully for two years, and the last train ran in 1863. Their competitors, the South London Necropolis Railway, fared far better and are still moderately famous today.
