London Bridge Station

Very busy station due to its excellent connections to over ground and under ground trains. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Several shops in and around the station making it a pleasant environment.

Improved rail station, right next to the Shard, still rebuilding, exciting changes! The platforms are all new now, and much longer for the proposed longer trains — 12 carriages.

London Bridge is undergoing some major renovations at the moment.
It will be great once it is finally completed in 2018 but at the moment it is the station I choose to avoid (trains from Brighton run directly to London Bridge or London Victoria)
It’s always EXTREMELY busy during commuter rush hours, as most London stations are I suppose, so try to leave for london after 9am and you won’t get caught up in it all.
I’m looking forward to seeing the final improvements when they are finished.

Darn you London Bridge, trains are always delayed when arriving at the station and it seems that you close doors almost a minute before advertised departure times. Particularly on plat 6 going to Charing Cross!
In the evening there is always an almighty rush to get out of the city and back into the burbs and there is infuriatingly only 1 oyster ticket machine in the main hall.
This should be exclusively for Oyster holders only, as the ticket office, where there is never a queue only accepts your English pounds if you are buying an overpriced paper ticket.
Avoid if you possibly can!
Buy your Oyster elsewhere!
This is one of the busiest stations in London where there is no Boots the chemist for almost a whole square mile around, what’s a girl to do needing a refill of translucent powder after the rush hour crush.

Busy as usual but that’s life.
London Bridge Station is convenient, wide open and connects you on foot or via other train/​underground lines to some fab places in and out of the city.
Steps from Borough Market, HMS Belfast, Guy’s Hospital and the base of The Shard. The Northern and Jubilee line are also connected up here along with several trains taking you further afield. It’s all good — except the signage here isn’t great and with the throngs of tourists and folk who have not mastered walking in a straight line, collisions are inevitable.
Lots of overpriced coffee, cafes and donut stalls in and around the station if you fancy quick refreshments.
Lot of refurbishment has occurred here over the years but it still retains an unfinished look in many parts of the station… but hey, if I can get a train from here to the DLR (and I can) it’s all good in my book.

Oh, London Bridge. Be still my beating heart. How many times have you saved my life? Too many to count.
All those times I got on the Cannon Street line when I really needed to get somewhere with a quick Jubilee connection, you were there for me. The times when I hopped on the Charing X but only needed to get to Bank (Dark Mark in the sky!), you rescued me. Even the times I ran to the station to catch my train and forgot to eat, you provided me with a huge baguette that took me the entire ride home to eat. Oh, London Bridge, how I love you.
With your many platforms yet regular schedule, I always know to head to either platform 2 or 4 if I need to get home. And thanks to your regular trains and good connections, if my train inexplicably gets cancelled, I can still make my way home either by heading back inside and taking the Jubilee to North Greenwich or by jumping to another platform and heading to Lewisham. Brilliant.
Of course, you’re essentially a block of concrete and some tracks open to the elements, so if I’m going anywhere important and I need to look good, you can ruin my night when you funnel wind and rain directly at me.
And when I take into account my paralysing fear of falling onto train tracks and dying, you’re the worst station around with your narrow walkways and sheer amount of traffic pushing everyone out and over the yellow line. But I can forgive that. Just about.

I come here twice every work day. It’s my main London travel terminus and I have to say, I like it. The layout is super simple and it has pretty epic connections on the underground side.
It can be a it wet and windy (especially in the recent storms) but a Krispy Cream, Cornish Pasty or coffee are just a few steps away. It’s no thrills but as a commuter, it’s great for me!

Much better now that it has been completely renovated. It’s really important to note which side your train is going to depart from, because it;s a very, very long run from one side to the other if you only have 3 minutes before it departs (she says from bitter experience!)
I do like the way it’s all joined up below with the underground and the very small stretch of shops — great for grabbing a card and a gift when running through.

No complaints about the London Bridge station, which was clean and modern. Since we were only in London for 1 full day, we just took the train from Gatwick to this station since it was the closest one to our hotel. There were enough signs to direct you to the exit and taxis, etc, and it was the second stop from the Gatwick Airport.

Das Tor ins wunderschöné London:)

I like the locaton, because it’s like super close to borough market, which also means that my wallet gets emptied out by the temptation of food. (Oh, the gluttony!) and it has great tube links, as it has both the Jubilee line and the Northern Line (the BANK branch, don’t make the same mistake, was like an hour late to lectures because I didn’t read properly. FAIL)
The tube stretch is MAHOOOOOSIVE, so many entrances and exits, and I still get lost. (I can’t remember if I was watching the Tube on BBC2 and it said it stretches for 2 miles. did I mention my love for public transport documentaries, like the Tube, the Railway, Border Control, Airline, Luton Airport etc)
But I’m really not a big fan of the train platforms, because it’s out in the open and it has a wind tunnel effect, so if you do manage to get a job in London Bridge. YOU’RE ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE A BAD HAIR DAY, at least if you train it in. I much prefer getting on the train at Charing cross because a) i get seats and b) It’s a building so I’m not freezing my arse off waiting for my train to pull in.

Well, it’s a train station for sure. It’s also attached to the newly developed Shard, so it’s a partially new train station with the building dust still settling around it.
Personally I think it’s better than Victoria, but both stations have good and bad days. There was one week last year, when they closed the Jubilee line every single morning for 10min because of overcrowding. What a nightmare that week was … and no … it wasn’t because of the Olympics (they were this year).

London Bridge Station, you stand strong!
This is indeed one of my favourite stations out of all the ones I have taken so far (granted, it’s not a lot, but I’ve begun to figure out what I like and don’t like and this I like!) Easy to get in and out of, easy to find the lines and easy to get to fun attractions around the area by heading to this stop. What’s not to love?
It can be a little tourist heavy from time to time and yes, as other people have pointed out, the map boards are awkwardly placed making it sometimes hard to figure out which train you need to catch. However, if you know where you are going, then this is the stop to stop at.

Not fantastic at the moment, especially with all the road and construction work going on around the Shard. Hoards of tourists aren’t helpful either, clogging up the already undersized concourse at every hour of the day
Can’t wait for to see what the Summer Olympics has in store for the entire network.

London Bridge — What a jolly good station!
When I landed my first «grownup girl job» I remember feeling like I was a part of the tube riding system. At long last I had a real purpose for going! Don’t get me wrong, I had been there before many-​a-​time, but now, I am a professional! Bless.
Where I grew up didn’t have an underground tube station so to get to one I would need to grab an overland train to London Bridge where all the trains from my station would terminate. I’ve moved away now but still go into LB to grab a train ride to see the folks.
From here, southern destinations a populated all the way out to Gatwick. Currently going through a refurbished as the Shard is erected and soon to have lots of new shops.

This Tube station is one of my favourites for its proximity to many of my favourite London attractions and hence many happy memories.
The Northern and Jubilee lines run through here but it also has train links and a nearby stop to the water taxi service on the Thames. Being one of the newer Jubilee Line stops (the newest London Underground line), the platforms and corridors are nice and wide with automatic safety doors operating on the Jubilee Line platforms
My favourite destination from London Bridge station is Borough Market, a foodie’s paradise. In additions, you have the river with walks up towards the Globe theatre, Tate Modern and the South bank if you head west and in the opposite direction, you can see HMS Belfast, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.
The last thing that tickles me is knowing that a rich American bought the original London Bridge (which is now a tourist attraction in Arizona), thinking that he was buying Tower Bridge!

This is one of the best connected and located tube/​train stations in London. There is a ton of stuff to do here because of the proximity to the river — through both the Southbank/​Bankside area and the Queen’s Walk /​Docklands area.
Borough and the neighborhood is also quite outdoorsy. I usually run along Thames Walk by the river from Rotherhithe to Queen’s Walk and back.
Fabulous connection to Gatwick (FCC/​Southern) and several buses going to Liverpool St that connect on to Stansted via the Stansted Express. Jubilee Line also goes to Canning Town where one change brings you to CIty Airport. Overground goes to Charing Cross, Jubilee to Waterloo and Northern to Moorgate/​Kings Cross for overground connections.
Shopping, weekend markets, a thriving night life, enormous options for fine and comfort dining and even London’s tallest hospital building!
If you wanna be seen at a tube station — this is as good as it gets! :-)

One of the oldest railways stations in the world, London Bridge is also one of the busiest as it is a transfer between the south east commuter lines (Brighton, Bedford), the Northern line (between Borough and Bank) and the Jubilee line (between Southwark and Bermondsey). There is a stop at London Bridge City Pier for the Thames Clipper. The Underground station is in Travelcard zone 1.
The station is not step-​free, but the Jubilee platform has the platform-​edge doors.
Interesting trivia: London Bridge is the only Tube station that has «London» in it’s official name.
If you’re looking for London Bridge from the air, it’s right next to the magnificent «Shard» building that when complete will be the tallest building in the EU.

It’s alright, but as Thomas A said before it does need to be more userfriendly.
And toilets in the waiting room rather than getting on a platform or train.

I’m not a massive fan of London Bridge. It’s impossible to get around because there’s barriers and other closed routes at every turn to direct every single passenger in the exact opposite direction they want to go. It’s also been a great big building site for the past 2+ years because of station improvements that probably will be finished next year but feel like they never will.
The shops and amenities in the station are very poor. If you want a hot meat pasty you’ll have all the choice in the world. If you need anything else, don’t bother. There is no chemist, a WH Smiths that’s too small to sell anything other than newspapers (who buys newspapers? There are free ones and there’s the internet). The M&S Simply Food isn’t bad if you love queuing.

Can get quite hectic, with long queues for ticketsbut they move quicker than you might think. I wouldn’t like to have to come here in rush hour too often mind you and I know some poor souls have to every day. The trains are at different sides of the station which can be a pain if you’re not sure which side your train will be going from.
It has the usual shops and a particularly sticky and unpleasant station bar.
I do end up at this station quite often however, it seems to go everywhere (well obviously South East of London, but there’s a lot there).
Is going to change a lot while they build the shard so will be interesting to see it when that is finished.
