Charing Cross Tube Station

Conveniently located near The Thames, The Strand, Covent Garden & Trafalgar Square you can not go wrong with this tube station.
It has both Northern & Bakerloo Lines stopping off here. You may recognise the name of you travel the Northern line a lot. The Northern line splits into in Central London and you either take Northern via Bank (aka City Branch) or Northern line via Charring Cross (aka West End Branch).
It is my go to station when I’m travelling to anywhere in that area. It has about a million exits all going to different places and I always get lost trying to figure out the which one is the correct one because the signage could be better.
It also has Charring Cross main line station above it so I can get busy in rush hour or when the theatres on & around The Strand finish.

Charing Cross tube station is very conveniently located on the Strand, close to Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden. Both the Bakerloo and Northern lines (Charing Cross branch only) service this station, making it a great place to meet friends. The station is fairly vast so it can take a few minutes to get to your platform, but the location can’t be beaten.

This is a very convenient underground station that is close to Trafalgar Square and The Strand.
I used Charing Cross a few times during my stay in London and I liked the location of it and the fact that the National Rail is there as well. The access to the Soho neighborhood from this tube location is close. The only confusing thing for me was the fact that the Northern (black) line actually splits up at this juncture, meaning that it doesn’t go past King’s Cross.
This is a tube station that I used to switch lines a few times and despite the confusion with the Northern line, I found it to be pretty convenient and overall not that bad. This station is really deep as well, those escalators go down quite deep at this station. Not sure if that’s worth noting, but yeah that was definitely interesting.

Charing Cross (sometimes informally abbreviated as Charing X) is a London Underground station at Charing Cross in the City of Westminster with entrances located in Trafalgar Square and The Strand. The station is served by the Northern and Bakerloo lines and provides an interchange with the National Rail network at Charing Cross station. On the Northern line it is between Embankment and Leicester Square stations on the Charing Cross branch, and on the Bakerloo line it is between Embankment and Piccadilly Circus stations. The station is in Travelcard Zone 1.
The station was served by the Jubilee line between 1979 and 1999, acting as the southern terminus of the line during that period.
For most of the history of the Underground the name Charing Cross was associated not with this station but with the station now known as Embankment. See below for the complex history of the name.

This station is ideal for me because it’s in the same building as national rail so I never have to go outside and get wet when it’s raining.
It houses the Northern line and Bakerloo line so of you’re into history, this is your home. It has anecdotes along the walls, you can get to Baker Street, home of Sherlock Holmes, Camden, home of just about everything, and Oxford Circus if you’re a shopaholic. Ideal.
I would have given it four stars were it not for the weird staircase/​mini escalator and load of turns and signs you need to navigate to get in and out of it. Let’s just say it’s not the simplest station.

It’s quite a nice station. I’ve never used tubes or anything being from Louisiana, but a local friend showed me to Camden town via this tube and it was a good station — quite large!

I love the little history anecdotes on the wall in both northern and bakerloo line platforms. It reminds me of my history student days, especially all that medieval stuff about edward and his wife eleanor.
It’s pretty easy to navigate since it’s only two lines. The northern line is particularly easy because it’s a loop.
Note: The northern line splits in two and this is only one side of the northern line and no it doesn’t go past kings cross.
Additionally, I WOULD have given it four star if it wasn’t for a rodent I saw scrurrying on the bakerloo line platform and getting closer and closer to me and I JUST FREAKED.

Very big tube station! Has links to Northern line and the Bakerloo line!

did you know a freak lives in the tracks here? he steals you if you’re on the platform alone and puts you in a cage and does experiments on you. this is what i’ve heard
but there is a rail AND tube station here so it evens out

Great location… easy to get to a ton of stuff from this station. Rail station is on top of the subway, you can access a couple of different lines and it will get you where you need to go.

I suspect there will soon be more check-​ins at Charing Cross station as it is the first Underground station with wi-​fi access. This busy station is located under Trafalgar Square, which is noted for its easy access to the SoHo theatre district at the National Portrait Gallery.
An intersection for the Northern and Bakerloo lines (Jubilee line was rerouted a few years back), this is a deep station with escalators. National Rail also serves this station. It is in Travelcard zone 1 with ticket barricades and Oyster readers. It does not have step-​free access to street level from the Underground platform.
