A great little local station in zone 5 that has good connections into London via Cannon Street and…read moreVictoria overground. It has a much nicer atmosphere in the mornings as they've added a cafe car onto the London bound platform. It's a pretty relaxed place all-in-all and the barriers are often open on the Kent bound platform (if that's your thing). Around the station there's a great selection of small shops including a top-rate florist and an iPhone repair place, so if you need to apologise for being so late home (due to southeastern railways sloppy train times) you're covered. Likewise when you throw your phone in frustration, you don't have to go far for a repair. All in all a good little station in a great commuter location.

This station is currently being modernised, so there's building work going on. However, for this…read morereview I will be giving 4 stars based on it's great train links. You can get a train from here into Kent and also to central London via Greenwich and Bexley lines - which is quite cool. There is also a little shop which used to be in the station and which I believe will be moving back in when the station is finished. I do miss not being able to use my Oyster here, and because it is outside the Oyster zone tickets are quite expensive. I also don't like the fact I can't top my oyster up here - yes I know I can't use it, but what if I want to check my balance etc!

When I fancy or need to use my oyster for the rest of the day, I walk to this station. Although…read moreDartford is my nearest station, it doesn't use oyster yet. And sometimes you just need to use your oyster card! This station is clean and I like the little shop on site. Trains are fairly frequent in both directions.

The station also has a small coffee shop which is open during the mornings. There is a self ticket machine too. The staff a friendly and helpful which always makes the morning travel better. There is on site parking but it is quite expensive. The road has double yellow lines so don't park as you will get a ticket. Mounting the curb is also not advised as the council usually has a mobile camera car which will take pictures and send you a fine.

Transiting from the Underground to the train platform is extremely easy. My only complaint is that there are very few seats for waiting. There is an AMT Coffee (they're everywhere!) and a few other shops for grabbing a quick sandwich to take on the trains.

Only opened in 1899, it is one of London's youngest mainline terminal stations. Beatles fans will recognize it as the opening location of their first film, A Hard Day's Night. Though much has changed since 1964, any true Beatles fan will enjoy imagining the Beatles running for a train with a mob of screaming birds in their wake. Walking the historic platforms, only recently expanded, I was overwhelmed with the everyday beauty and usefulness of a national transit system.

The DLR station is mid-block on Woolwich New Road, and the train station is on the corner with Vincent Road. The area, far from being the stereotypical scary, is actually quite diverse, and is also gentrifying rapidly. That said, there are a number of late-night kebab and chicken shops as well as a huge Tesco for grocery shopping during the daytime. Numerous bus connections around the area as well as DLR to Canning Town and Stratford.
