SideTracked started at Evesham station on August 10th 2007, placed by schnarff & bikermel76. It took a while to get started, but is now spreading across the country! Putney Bridge Station is a busy station and so stealth is required at all times.

The station was opened on 1 March 1880 as Putney Bridge & Fulham when the Metropolitan District Railway (MDR, now the District Line) extended its line south from West Brompton. The station served as the terminus of the line until 1889 when the MDR built Fulham Railway Bridge across the River Thames and extended the line south to the London & South Western Railway's (L&SWR's) newly built East Putney station where it connected to the L&SWR's new line to Wimbledon. Services from the station to Wimbledon began on 3 June 1889. The station has an ornate yellow brick façade at the entrance.

On 1 January 1902, the station was renamed Putney Bridge & Hurlingham referring to its proximity to Hurlingham Park and the Hurlingham Club. It received its current name in 1932. Despite taking its name from Putney Bridge, the tube station is in fact on the Fulham side of the Thames and is not actually located in Putney.

November 14 by Jacord (282 found) Didnt take too long to find. Have seem a similar way to hide a cache in North London so realised where it was very quickly. [view this log]

October 31 by Shearer (81 found) Clever hiding place. I live nearby so passed the cache almost every day! TFTC! [view this log]

October 28 by gralst (18 found) Was on a short break from N Wales, so this made a great way of seeing some of the less obvious attractions in London. Did this one on an early morning walk from base in N End Road. A few passersby around at 7am. Ingenious location! Had a little difficulty winkling the log out from the container but got there in the end! SL TFTC. [view this log]
