It was never designed to be a terminus, because originally the line was meant to end in the City of London (which didn't happen, there is the W&C line instead). It was rebuilt in the early 20th century, opening in 1922, and included the Victory Arch over the main entrance, commemorating World War I. The station was the London terminus for Eurostar international trains from 1994 until 2007, so also this part of the station is visibly different than the rest of the station (but these platforms were later modernised and put into domestic use in 2018 and 2019).
