Shoreditch High Street Overground Station

Are you in this area? (Brick Lane, Spitalfields, Shoreditch) Do you need transit? Is this one of the options? TAKE IT.
I know, reviewing public transit — right?! Well, someday someone somewhere is going to thank me for pointing them to Shoreditch High Street Overground Station, because its much preferred to nearby stations.
For one, I was traveling with a buggy. It’s not glamorous in most respects– let me tell you. In fact, it is downright dangerous in a station like Old Street (so many stairs) or Liverpool Street Station (so many people), so I avoid it and usually take the bus. But, let’s face it, the bus can take forever and though its street level — that’s about all it has going for it.
Shoreditch Street Station has the benefit of being walk-​in street level, plus having a very easy lift right to the platforms (one for each platform). It’s beyond easy. Obviously weekend riding is much less busy, particularly before the area lights up late day so our journey was so easy peasy. If you are with a buggy or in a wheelchair, this station is tops.
Clean, stylish, new, well-​equipped and the train is Overground so you can see London whizzing by while reaching your destination. Not bad, not bad at all. If you’ve crammed into a Nothern Line tube anytime lately, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how nice this is.

Good location for Shoreditch, Hoxton and East London venues… and let me be honest, this gets me to Shadwell where I can connect to the DLR so it’s a clear winner for me.
The station is quite spacious and I like that. Although the platforms themselves are quite narrow — not so good on busy days and weekends when people seem to have no concept of moving to the side to let others pass along.
Brightly lit and very tidy. Lots of maps and station staff too.

It gets me home. there’s usually a good busker there playing something snazzy. It runs often enough. Clean. Boom. simple. Also, there’s tons of places around it in case you have a bit of a wait.

This Overground station is, along with Euston Overground Station, the only one located in Zone 1.
It’s the closest station to Brick Lane and a bunch of bars/​restaurants/​clubs in the East End.
It’s got a wheel-​chair friendly entrance with no doors and overall is a very modern looking station very near the east side of the city center.
Get off here and have a look around!

Perfect for hitting Shoreditch or Brick Lane. Bright and shiny with concrete block plus dramatic staircase. I wish more stations were of this quality of design. Fairly basic café bar. UPDATEAnd they have now added a flower shop, sweet stall and coffee van out the front I would still pop round the corner to Allpress.

Manda as escritas em potugues, vc parece bastante popular, isso eh bom; porque eu sou meio fechadao, estudo fisioterapia, abracos.

Very nice new station (very much a Docklands Light Railway feel to this one) not far from the city, but doesn’t feel as hectic and unpleasant as the main city stations. I’ve only used it the once but found it to be very handy.
