Then again, it is a suburban station, and one of the newer ones as well. However, I do notice that the trains don't run nearly as often as they do in the city, but then again this is pretty much the pen-ultimate station on the line, so yeah, I get that.

This is one of my local tube stations so I use it very frequently to get in and out of town…read more The first thing you should know is that the display on the platform that indicates when the next train will arrive is always being changed in the mornings. What I mean is that if it says 1 minute for a bank train and 3 minutes for a charing x train, and you decide to wait they will often change it at the last minute. Usually if it says 1 minute it is unlikely to change but any thing else is subject to a destination change and this is always happening. If you are in a hurry, get on the first available train and change at Camden Town. This is otherwise a nice and always very clean station. They have toilets on the platform which is unusual for the underground. The men's is on the Barnet platform and the woman's is on the London platform (you can simply walk across if you need to go). The ticket office is not always open but you can usually find an attendant wondering around.

The station was opened on 13th March 1933 as part of the extension from Finsbury Park to Cockfosters, itself part of a works scheme designed to relieve unemployment. The line was amazingly - built in just under three years, but it is most famous for the modernist / art-deco style surface buildings of its stations, designed by the London Underground architect Frank Holden. All feature tall, drum-like ticket halls with curtains of glass: that at Southgate is lower than the rest, but is very well preserved. It is a Grade II listed building. A unique feature is the futuristic decoration atop the centre of the drum, which resembles an electric insulator. The station also retains its 'London Underground' symbols atop smaller matching concrete drums at the front and back of the station. The whole ensemble is beautifully illuminated at night. The station also has a bus interchange, built sympathetically with a long, gently curved curtain wall of brick following the line of the bus lane around the west of the station, incorporating a parade of shops. It makes for both an effective public transport interchange and an attractive piece of urban design. The station is served by Piccadilly line trains and bus routes 121, 125, 298, 299, 382, W6, W9 and night bus N91.

Facilities include a small car park situated at the entrance and an adjoining newsagent (called Bookstall). On platform 1 there's also a coffee shop. There's a bus stop directly outside leading to Oakwood/Barnet (bus 307) or Chase Farm Hosp (bus 313). There are stairs leading to the platforms (couldn't see any wheelchair access) and the platforms are visibly quite wide. A journey into the City of London takes around 35 mins and passes overland through Palmers Green, Alexandra Palace, Finsbury Park and Drayton Park among others, and continues underground through Highbury & Islington, Old Street...finishing at Moorgate.

No time for self-pity. So... last night I googled "how to get to LHR really early in the morning" and Exclusive Airport Transportation must have those keywords on lockdown. I'm here to save you from Google, now you can just Yelp it. These guys are legit. First of all, price breakdown: EA: £33 (discount if paid by card and booked online! both things I like) Taxi to Paddington: £20 Heathrow Express to LHR: £18 So, I saved £5 and my sanity. 1. Book online via their website. (easy) 2. Receive confirmation via email. 3. Driver called me 5 minutes early this morning, he was outside. 4. Drove me to LHR at 455am. Took about 40 minutes. 5. He was a good driver! A bit slow (kind of abnormal) but I arrived safely! 6. Didn't try to make chit chat. Pre-5am, good decision. Will definitely book them again. Couldn't have been easier and actually saved me money and cash!

We eventually connected and I got to my destination - the driver seemed to take a very long route and avoid the freeway.

On my way home, the driver was on time, fast and friendly. The price was reasonable for both trips compared to others I'd researched. I would try them out again to see if the experience was better.
