St. Paul’s Underground Station

Fairly easy to navigate station with frequent trains. The entrances are well located ensuring easy access into and out of the station.

St. Paul’s is a London Underground station located in the City of London financial district which takes its name from the nearby St Paul’s Cathedral.
The station is on the Central line, between Bank and Chancery Lane stations, and is in fare zone 1.
It should not be confused with City Thameslink railway station which opened in 1990 with the name St. Paul’s Thameslink, but is some distance from the Underground station. That station was subsequently renamed City Thameslink to avoid confusion for the emergency services, but for some years afterwards many maps and guidebooks in circulation continued to carry the earlier name.

No secret doubletalk here, the St. Paul’s Tube Station is located right underneath the landmark St. Paul’s Cathedral. On the Central Line between Chancery Lane and Bank station, it is in zone one.
The station has been open since 1900 and interestingly the two platforms are stacked rather than side to side.
Good signage points to the various nearby sites including the Museum of London and (duh) St. Paul’s Cathedral.
While there are escalators to the ticketing level, there is still no step-​free access to street level.

I have to agree with the review below. For a station that millions of tourists and city workers use, it’s just not up to scratch. It should be swisher, cleaner and more modern.
The main thing I find annoying is that I always find it disorientating coming out of the station and have to spend a moment figuring out which way is which. There should be more clear signs and directions.
The Central line is usually pretty reliable and quick though.

Having commuted to this station for almost 3 years, almost nothing has changed. The station has been under constant building work, with little progress for months despite signs that say otherwise — work on tiling the platform is nearly complete… apparently not — wires and steel girders petrude from the ceiling and walls, and the escalators break down fairly frequently. One wonders what they do when it’s closed at weekends.
Surely one of the capital’s greatest landmarks deserves a station that is less of a small hole in the ground, and more of a modern, fast moving station that is expected from both commuters and tourists alike.
It has a small shop in it and the station is conveniently located for many people. Other than that, it’s scarsely more than an overcrowded rabbit warren.
