Is there anything left there worth seeing ?

Are you talking about the old station, or the Viaduct itself?

The viaduct is still very much there, and exactly what it says it is -
effectively a Victorian road bridge over the course of the River Fleet.
Nowadays it is surrounded by office buildings. It is painted in
Corporation
colours and is quite prominent, but not really a tourist attraction.

The old station has been replaced by said office blocks, along with its
approach lines, although there is an entrance to the Northern end of the
City Thameslink under ground platforms at the eastern end of the Viaduct,
which is on the site of the old station.

See http://www.pendar.pwp.blueyonder.co....rnViaduct.html

A most interesting site, and onward links. Many thanks for the URL.

Thanks, guys. It was seeing the mentioned exit from City Thameslink and the
mentioned website which caused me to ask the question. I think I'll dust off
the old Freedom Card and go have a look myself. Its hard to believe that
there were three stations in what seems quite a short trip from Blackfriars
to Farringdon, can anybody point me to a map showing that part of the rail
system ?
