The London Bridge Station is where William Pierce, Edward Agar, William Tester, and James Burgess boarded the train they would soon rob on May 15, 1855. Agar hid in the guard car with Burgess while Tester and Pierce sat in first class. The crew would successfully pull of one of London's greatest train heists, stealing around €12,000 in solid gold (1.5 million US dollars today).
