Default Waterloo and City, and Post Office Station

Jul 2005, Clive D. W. Feather remarked:
in the middle the "Post Office" after which today's St Paul's station
was originally named. The station building itself is shown to the
north of Newgate St; today probably in the middle of a traffic island
next to the entrance to the BT HQ.


Isn't it now the "Dental Centre" just beside the church?


I'm going by aerial photos that show a much enlarged road junction, with
a large triangular traffic island to the west. (View from north).

If the old map is accurate, and the station building was next to the
original alignment of Newgate Street, then the station would surely be
under the traffic island, or the road between the island and the church.
