Very large and busy station close to the Borough Market, London Bridge, and within walking distance to many attractions such as the Tower Bridge, The Shard, etc. I took the Jubilee line here when arriving in town to run the London Marathon as our hotel was close by. The Northern line also runs through here. This station goes pretty deep and good thing the escalators worked! Also, tap and pay was easy here. It was a main station for the marathon runners to board and head to the start line area. Its one of the oldest stations dating back to the 1830's. There are now some current businesses here to grab a coffee and bite to eat. Can be a bit confusing to navigate for some as its massive and winding so make sure you know where you're going. read more

Super busy station with a lot of activity and movement. Know we're going or step to the side until you can figure it out. read more

London Bridge Station - Wide view - Public Transportation Near Me - London, XGL

This was right by the hotel I was staying at and the portal to the rest of London. Traffic in this area is horrendous and the UG is the best way to get around. It's quite big and basic, nothing stood out really. read more

Very very busy busy Central tube hub. My black line was very deep. It was a lot of steps, escalators & alleyways, until I found the black line going in the north direction. The train came frequently. On a Sunday afternoon it was very very crowded. It was easy to navigate the stations, maps, and each line. read more

At first I thought that this was just a pretty big through station, and not really a mainline station, but that was before I returned to actually discover that there are a number of termini platforms here as well. It is just that there are quite a few platforms where trains pass through onto other stations closer to the city. Mind you, it is pretty massive, even for a through station (and pretty much all trains will stop here anyway). In fact, it is so big you literally have to give yourself five to ten minutes to actually get from one part of the station to the other (something that you generally don't have to do with Australian stations). It's pretty awesome though, and it also has a pretty massive skyscraper on top of it as well. read more

A very large train station, London Bridge Station is the nearest station closest to the Tower Bridge, about a 15 minute walk. It consists of two levels (concourses) and two Tube lines: Jubilee and Northern. We took the Northern line from King's Cross/Pancras on a Monday night, and were able to find seats. There were working escalators (needed since the station can be very deep underground). read more

London Bridge is falling down, but this review is going up, so I guess that balances it out. Did you hear the story that the US bought London Bridge a long time ago thinking it was Tower Bridge? Probably just folklore. Or is it. This is a haunted old part of East London with a haunted old bridge and a haunted old station here too. A very dark and dimly-lit south of the river station, which is a little bit creepy, possibly because it's right next to the London dungeon, but it's a cool neighbourhood and there's a lot around here that's a lot of fun, such as the long walk down to Tower Bridge and back. It's a very busy railway station and this is definitely a listing for the railway station and not the underground station, despite the mistakes others have made, and despite the falsely uploaded pictures of many of users. read more

London Bridge Station is one of central London's busiest, serving The Shard, and Borough Market across National Rail and Underground services, odds are if you're in London, you will have to use this station at one point or another to make the most of your time in the city. Southern, Southeastern and Thameslink service this station for National Rail, for the London Underground, it is on both Jubilee and Northern lines. The thing I hate most about London Bridge Station is much more difficult to navigate than any other major station in London, it could even mean having to leave the station and walk along street level to connect between different Underground lines, on a route which isn't signposted well at all! Considering, this is the oldest station in London, they have done well to make some parts of the station look modern, and most of it looks pleasantly, the exposed brick area as you walk past the retail area to the Jubilee Line is my favourite part of the station. Businesses located here include Nespresso, Marks and Spencer, Starbucks and WHSmith. If you're a tourist, be sure to take the service from here going into Charing Cross, not only does this take you to Strand and close to Trafalgar Square, but the views as you cross Waterloo Bridge are stunning. 4* read more

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. read more

Difficult to navigate. This is a statement regarding the entire subway system in London. All I want is Charing Cross, and I get asked and presented with two options: "Do you want the Jubilee Line or Northern?" Okay. I want Charing Cross. I don't even know if that's North, South, Jubilee, etc. Despite speaking English quite proficiently, I found the language difficult from modern somewhat intelligent person to London subway-ese too difficult to muster. I took the bus the rest of the time. read more

London Bridge Station is huge, as it serves the Underground and several other England domestic trains. Hubby and I had an early morning Southeastern train to Hever from London. When we arrived at London Bridge, all of the commuters were arriving into London for work. The literal wall of people who were all in a rush coming towards us was daunting. The signs are difficult to navigate, as we quickly realized that Hever was not a destination because it is a stop to Margate. We learned to ask for help after trying to navigate St. Pancras ourselves. The staff was helpful and told us to look for Margate on the boards in a section we would never have found ourselves. The platform was not shown until 5 minutes before departure! 5 minutes to hurry up a long staircase and get onto the train is terrible timing for leisure travel passengers. The train lines need to take tourists and others not familiar with their system into consideration. I recommend that if you are not familiar with the station to ask for help early and often. Otherwise, it may boil down to having 5 minutes to find your train. read more

Really Large Station, but very well organised, even with all the works being done for a long time. This in the part where there are platforms 10-15, the only part I know. It's got lots of escalators, so if you are carrying a lot of stuff, use the lifts. On the top floor/entrance, there are some shops if you're hungry, on the lower floor, more shops with food and with cards, souvenirs, clothing accessories. The toilets are charged 20p, like most public toiltes in the city. And having the two busiest underground lines, you may expect a lot of crowding in rush hours, of course. But there are lots of options of what to do and to visit nearby, since it's quite central. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I'm writing this review as I traveled to London bridge station to get the train I'm desabled and on a electronic scooter and can't walk this is my way around every day one member of staff there was so inconsiderate and questioned my mobility I really fort this was so inconsiderate and inappropriate for a member of staff to say that I use the station maybe once a week to travel I never ever get this trouble but today it really got to me and it's upsetting all the other members of staff I can never fault as they are always helpful and welcoming but this one member today and my review hopefully something gets done by the management read more

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. read more

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! :-) read more

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. read more

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.. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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). read more

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. read more

Currently undergoing renovations - so if you're passing through as a visitor (and don't currently have an Oyster card), be prepared to have to hunt for ticket machines (only on the one floor, which isn't useful when you're running late and your platform is on a different one). Also - can be tricky to find the entrance to the national rail part through all the building works read more

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. read more

Ah London Bridge. The station is having major works at the moment since the Shard has opened and since they are now building a cycle path around it. The platforms for the trains can be slightly confusing as some are located near the tube entrance and some are on the higher level. If I was you I would use the Borough Market tube entrance/exits. They are a lot quicker and less busy than the main entrance/exit and you can still get to the shard just as quick. read more

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. read more

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. read more

London Bridge has an atmosphere all its own. It's sort of subterranean and in the air at the same time. I usually arrive by bus, coming off London Bridge the bus swoops down and then climbs up into the bus station, into perpetual gloom. The station entranceway is to one side, and opens out into a rather bleak square space. If you are lucky you'll get a train from the end of here. There's more platforms off up a tunnel to the left, but I always seem to end up getting caught by a last minute platform change, and doing some mad u shaped dash down one platform and up the next. Where things really get interesting is down in the underground. From the bus station stairs descend into more tunnels. Some of them are huge. There's also one down there full of some really nice market type stalls: like a little bit of nearby Borough Market that's wandered off and lodged there. A strange place, and not pretty, but I sort of like it. read more

It's a bit confusing isn't it? Up, down, around But I quite like London Bridge Station. For some reason there are a number of South African related shops selling SA delicacies. I know not why this is. The other cool thing about London Bridge is that it is home to the SHunt Vaults and you feel very cool and sexy entering the vaults through the little door at the side of the station. Trains wise it's mostly suburban services and services to the south and east and southeast. read more

Ugh. Seems like every journey through this station is less than pleasant. I will say it's conveniently located - with plenty of buses shuffling off all over London - but There are just too many steps. And, although I pretty much know my way around there now, it's a really easy station to get mixed up and headed in the wrong direction. Grrr read more

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. read more

As a big hub for Southeast commuter trains, I'd like London Bridge to be a little more user-friendly. You have to haul to one side of the station to see the full departures board, the quick reference ones in the front don't list stops before the final destination.. .which is fine if you know where you're going, but if you haven't got a clue, it makes for a lot of running around as the platforms are spread out in a really weird way. You're no Waterloo, London Bridge! I wish you were set up better! read more

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. read more

Ahhh chaos! It was bank holiday weekend but the lack of space and ticket machines at this station makes a journey so much more stressful. I'm looking forward to once the works are all complete! read more

I came here to go to Borough Market. I got confused with some of the construction and of course got confused as to what exit to take to get to the actual market. There was an issue with my oyster card and it wouldn't allow me to tap out. Of course there was no one on site to assist me, therefore, I had to walk through the gates with someone else as they were tapping out. Felt guilty about the fare invading, however, most stations have attendants and this one didn't..what was I supposed to do? read more

Walking from the Jubilee line through all the fancy shops to get to the rail station fills me with both a giddy happy feeling and one of extreme despair. On the way you pass many fancy shops and remember how although all you'd like to do is stop to buy a fancy chocolate from 'chocology' you have actually just missed your train. Today I had the good fortune to be early, so i had a stop at Paul where i was greeted by a smiling, handsome man (called Paul) who understood that I needed more that 60 seconds to decide what I wanted and because of his graciousness i spent money in his shop. I then pleasantly made my way along and was able to catch a train within 5 minutes and arrived nearly on time. On a day like today London Bridge Station did well and is worthy of at least 3 stars, other days, less so. read more

The Vaults, which are now one of the main routes to the tube platforms, are very cool, and full of shops and cafes, plus its very own nightclub - see the clubbers any time from 9pm onwards, must be the most sheltered queue in London. But London Bridge has some problems - firstly in the layout, the platforms are in two sections, not like Victoria next door to one another, but with rows of barriers separating them too. So the staff must constantly be alert to help people get to the right part of the station. Its also the rowdiest London station I use, for some reason - its not unsafe, just loud. And often drunken. The M&S foodshop is often the nicest place to go while I'm waiting for a train. The bus station outside is wide and confusing, and at the side of it all, there's another route down to the tube station - straightforward stairs. read more

Loads of different exits so make sure if you're meeting someone that you have both agreed on the exit as outside is mental!
