The is a large crowed pretty much permanently trying to get down one short escalator. What never ceases to amaze me is that it appears no one remembers the 'walk down the escalator on the left hand side' rule! In that, no-one bothers walking down the, and I think I've already highlighted this, very short escalator. So, there you are STANDING on the left watching your tube depart the station as, even then people still do not bother to walk down in order to catch the train. Getting on at this stop in rush hour is a nightmare. You are pushed in and at the mercy of large rucksacks on backs (-take them off when you are on a crowded train) and being very squashed. Clearly, this part is not a reflection on the station itself more to highlight the heavy commuter population that frequent it. I have never actually come out of the station to comment on the facilities but, as a new station, it is generally clean and well lit.

The Northern line also runs through here. This station goes pretty deep and good thing the escalators worked! Also, tap and pay was easy here. It was a main station for the marathon runners to board and head to the start line area. Its one of the oldest stations dating back to the 1830's. There are now some current businesses here to grab a coffee and bite to eat. Can be a bit confusing to navigate for some as its massive and winding so make sure you know where you're going.

The location is great because if you come in here, you're close to Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, Embankment and Leicester Square. There are not too many tracks so it's easy to get your train. We took a Southeastern train to London Bridge here and it was very quick. For connected tube service, you can access the Northern and the Bakerloo lines. It's quite a trek to get to the Bakerloo line but it's nice to have the connections in one place. Also, many bus lines go right be here so it's easy to get a direct ride to this station. While we were staying near Trafalgar Square, this was our most used transit hub.

We greatly appreciated the convenience of the direct Canterbury West to Charing Cross Route and the subsequent short walk to our hotel (at Trafalgar Square) from there.

When conversing with the very nice employee here and he was explaining the zones he informed me that the majority of all travelers remain within Zone 1-2 on the Jubilee line. He also informed that the Westminster stop would be where a lot of the sights would be. Upon arrival, I noticed how clean the station was, I didn't see a garbage can in sight, but yet, I didn't one piece of garbage on the floor. All stops here have signage everywhere-- where to transfer, where to exit, some of the sights at that station, etc. what a huge help when you're in a city or country for the first time! They have an employee at the gate so you can ask questions and they are actually eager to assist without an attitude!

The thing about this station is that when you get off one of the lines it simply feels as if you…read moreare literally at the bottom of the pit. The reason for this is that I can basically see the escalators heading up to the sub-surface. That's probably because how they originally built this station, though ironically it seems as if this is the only deep level tube station they built this way. Still, I have to admit that it does happen to be pretty cool, especially when you come up from the deep level.

Yeah, this station is nothing short of massive, and it simply took me ages just to locate the tube station so I could get back to my hotel.

Getting from one to the other involves lots and lots of walking and the signage could use a little improvement. If you do have to connect here, I advice you pack some patience. Lots of it. And maybe a compass. Note: The Bakerloo platform is curved. The carriages are straight. This means there's a gap of as much as six or eight inches between the train and the platform. Mind the gap.

It is also the main Underground station serving London Fenchurch Street. Travel Zone ONE. The entrance to Tower Hill station is a few metres from one of the largest remaining segments of the Roman London Wall which once surrounded the historic City of London, there are actually two entrances for Eastbound and Westbound, it's a shame it isn't interlinked but it signed out well to know where to go. The station is step-free, and there aren't as many lifts as there is at other stations, there's a ramp going down and then one lift to the platform, compared to two or three at other larger and more awkward stations. It is on the District and Circle lines, meaning it isn't too far away from Westminster where you can connect to the Jubilee line, but services from here also run to the likes of Victoria and Embankment. It would have been nice to perhaps see it connected on more lines, as most places I wanted to get to, I did have to make at least one change, but still the lines they're currently on is okay. Staff at the station is a good sign - but the staff were mixed, some were more helpful and friendly than others; some just didn't appear to care. No shops or toilets inside the station, but this is typical of a tube station. It isn't the largest nor most modern station on the network, but it's an average tube station and does the job, and really did make the difference for my hotel stay, providing easy access for me into central London. 3* - Improving the platforms or perhaps ensuring consistently high-quality service would be the next improvement.

I wouldn't recommend trying to do it underground. If you want to change, I find it easier to go upstairs and take the walk along King William Street.

Monument Station opened in 1884 and is served by the District and Circle lines, between Cannon Street and Tower Hill. It is in Travelcard zone 1. There is no step-free access. It is a very curved platform, so when the announcer says "Mind the gap", they're not kidding - it's 6 to 8 inches in some spots!

Sure, there is an argument that there are a couple of stations nearby by this is on the edge of the old city, so the streets twist and turn everywhere, and half the exits are closed, so getting to the tube can actually be quite tricky at time. Still, it's a station, so you can get to places out of the city reasonably easy. Yeah, I guess privatised railways do create a mess like this.

Fenchurch Street railway station is the City of London's oldest main line station, the smallest,…read moreand also one of the nicest. It is also one of the four stations on the original Monopoly Board. Perhaps these things are not unrelated? The first station in the area was the London & Blackwall railway's terminus in nearby Minories, opened in 1840. These trains ran down to the Thames at Blackwall, and were designed to take traffic from the ferries, which they successfully achieved. In 1841 it was extended close to the city, on the present site. It was rebuilt in 1853-4 to the designs of George Berkeley, in grey stock brick, in a simple classical design with doric pilasters separating round-arched windows, all surmounted by a crescent-shaped pediment, in which is located the station clock. The station also became the terminus of the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway (LT&SR) n 1858, and it is these services - to Tilbury and Southend - which survive to-day. The frontage happily survives almost untouched, and in excellent condition, although the original flat canopy above the entrance has been replaced by a nevertheless attractive zig-zag canopy. It faces a small square, and is delightful in summer sunshine. The same cannot be said of the accommodation behind, where the graceful arched glass train-shed has been replaced by a rather low and dingy ceiling underneath a large office development, although the long platforms do at least have some daylight further out. Its small size means it is also easy to navigate, and there are no long walks to anywhere. The main ticketing facilities and concourse behind are at first floor level: there are escaltors, stairs and a lifts. Toilets (free) are on the ground floor, with all other facilities at first floor level. There are a number of food and drink outlets, a Transport for London help desk, several cashpoints and a small newsagent (W H Smiths) on the concourse. There is also a small ticket office at the Cooper's Row entrance. The station has just two island platforms giving four platform faces, which are used to capacity at peak hours, providing some 20 trains an hour. The services used to be a by-word for awfulness: the LT&SR acronym was reinterpreted as the 'Late, tired and suffering railway' by its passengers. However, the trains are now exclusively operated by the c2c company (c2c = City to coast), with shiny new trains which are among the most punctual in the UK. Fenchurch Street It is unique in London termini in not having an underground connection. The best connection is from the rear exit (Cooper's Row) to Tower Hill station, a two-minute walk away. There is a small taxi rank by the main entrance, but no cycle storage, nor any left luggage facilities.

The fact that you have to get a lift to the platform or brave more steps than parents of a teenage girl in the late 90s is one. I guess its just one of those deep lines. The other disadvantage is that while it is located on a main road, there isn't much around. Most of the pubs and restaurants in Kennington are located on other streets a short walk away. The big plus with this station is that, despite only having the one tube line, it has loads of transport options, due to its location just prior to the fork in the Northern line, where you can take the business or the pleasure branch towards Kings Cross.
