This iconic train station was actually the first station I arrived at during my first British…read moreadventure. I have since passed through many times in the last 3.5 years and it is still magnificent. The architecture is very grandiose and picture-worthy. It is relatively easy to navigate; if I can do it as a tourist, I'm confident most can figure it out ;) The toilets (bathrooms) are a bit hidden. You need to go down a set of stairs for the ladies. The wallpaper reminded me of 2006 Victoria's Secret, and the doors are floor to ceiling offering the most privacy of any public restroom I have been in. The entire station is ridiculously clean compared to any US train or bus station I have traveled through. There are many options for coffee and food, as well as a mini M&S and Tesco Express.... Tesco Express meal deal for less than £4 cannot be beat!!! 5 stars for convince, cleanliness, friendliness, and Tesco Express.

I love trains and train stations. This is by far the most impressive station I saw in London and…read morenot because it was stylish or new, but because of the old architecture and old tracks. We needed to transfer from our usual line to another to explore London a little more. When I walked into the station, I was drawn in by the massive curved canopy and the larger platform landings. This station was built in 1868 and can imagine what it looked like then. Many years before cars, people were commuting through London via underground rail. The place has history and it was cool to see, while you are on your way to see other places.
See what I mean?!
Okay, I probably wouldn't consider this to be one of the sexiest stations on the network, but then…read moreagain you probably have to be a real tube nerd to actually consider any one of these stations sexy. However, I have to admit that this place does have to place in my heart because I ended up staying around the corner once so I ended up using this station rather frequently. Oh, it's pretty deep, and while they do have an elevator, they also have stairs, and I get the impression they recommend that you use the elevator despite the fact that it is really quite old.
On the Central Line between Notting Hill Gate and Lancaster Gate, Queensway is in Travelcard Zone…read more1. It's quite an old station, one of the few classics remaining of the original Central London Railway by Harry Bell Measures. Despite having lifts to street level, this is not a step-free station. There is good signage including a "next train" display hanging from the ceiling. The platform curves slightly, so there is a small gap between the train and the platform edge on cars at the end of the train. Mind the gap. At street level, there is a staffed ticket booth as well as automated vending machines. The usual Oyster readers and ticket barricades too. Note: Bayswater station is only 100 yards away. If you're looking for Central/District line, it's much easier to just walk there at street level than taking a train and changing at Notting Hill Gate.

Yeah, there really isn't all that much that I can criticise with this station, but that is coming from somebody who lives in Australia where we really don't have a metro system like London's, or with the amount of public transport infrastructure that London has. Yeah, I don't mind it at all.
No, you won't find Julia Roberts here, but Hugh Grant is still a possibility. Notting Hill Gate…read moretube station It is on the Central Line between Queensway and Holland Park, on the District/Circle Line between Bayswater and High Street Ken. Expect big crowds here during rush hour with people changing from one to the other. There are also people who take the opportunity to switch if it's a District train and they want Circle or vice-versa. Stairs down to the ticket hall and then escalators to the Central or District/Circle line platforms, this station straddles both Travelcard Zones 1 and 2. TfL helpfully knows the difference and you will pay the lesser fare if you are traveling on an Oyster card. It doesn't really matter what you do, you're always going to exit the station on the wrong side of the road. So there's that. Kensington Gardens is nearby.

High Street Kensington tube station serves the Circle and District Lines on the London Underground,…read moreit is in Zone 1 and is the ideal location for the shops and restaurants located in Kensington, including two of my favourites - Whole Foods and Dishoom. It features a small shopping arcade which includes a Pret a Manger, which has a small seating area too, ideal to grab a coffee or sandwich to take on your train, or to sit down with one. PRO TIP: Touch in and out on your contactless card. It pretty much works out cheaper than purchasing a travel card, and it will cap after you've spent so much on all transport in and around London. The platform area is pretty generic and nothing too exciting, however, the layout of the station is straightforward, and you can get in and out rather quickly. I don't recall seeing an elevator as I just took the steps but this station doesn't appear to be step-free so plan accordingly if you have luggage and access needs. 4* - It serves a nice area of London if you're looking to grab something to eat or shop somewhere with less of a touristy feel, the shopping arcade is cute and it is a decent station overall.

Well, it is run by a private company, but its lines are included on the map, and you can use the oyster card on its metropolitan routes, but as it turns out, you can pretty much do that with all of the trains so I guess that doesn't really count. Yeah, I didn't mind this station, but them like with most of them I'm only passing through many of them, and I suspect that if I actually lived in London I'd have a somewhat different perspective.

In my opinion the station could do with a renovation, as it looks pretty tatty in places. Then have…read moreactually started to repave some of the platforms so I hope this work will continue. The entrance to the station causes bottlenecks, and you often have to queue just to go in and out of the barriers. The ticket machines frequently go out of services, causing the queues to be longer at the remaining machines. It is also worth noting that the only access to the platforms is by the stairs and there is no disabled access. My tip when there are long queues are at the ticket machines is to check inside the station - the new single ticket machine inside often has no queue at all, and the queues for the counter often move much more quickly than those outside. You can also sometimes buy tickets from the staff at the gate - so it's worth asking as this can save you some time. Annoyingly you can't use pre-pay oyster at this station, but when it is introduced I expect that everyone's experience will be greatly improved. There are snack and drink vending machines on platform 1, plus a small cafe on platforms 2 and 3.

It is in the White City area of London and is the main station for Westfield London It is located in White City and serves Westfield London and the BBC's former home of the Television Centre. The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium (Loftus Road) is also nearby. The station is fairly clean, it has a small Starbucks (take out only) at the ticket gates, and two lifts going to each platform. It is on the Circle and Hammersmith & City lines, between Latimer Road and Shepherd's Bush Market stations. Depending on where in London you are trying to wish, you may wish to connect into Hammersmith (around 5 minutes) and get onto the District line. Tower Hill, Kings Cross, Baker Street and Paddington are all served from here on the circle line though. 3* - Handy tube station if you're heading into Westfield, serves a useful feature but far from the best station on the network.

The ticket barriers are occasionally open on late nights (after 10 PM or so) but it is still advisable to tap in if you don't wish to be charged the maximum fare once you get to your final destination. On the plus side, the high street is located very ckose to the station. Little Waitrose and the Co-op are near by (as is the free cash machine in the Co-op), not to mention the whole host of chain restaurants such as Nando's and Pizza Express. In short, the station is nothing to shout about, but one really can't complain about the facilities nearby.

The station has two ticket kiosk, one ticket office, and a cash machine that has been handy many of times. The female toilets maybe old but always clean. You have three ticket barriers and big wide one for bikes, prams and luggage. Because their is no lift you do have to carry your bicycle etc up the stairs.

On your right you have a small newsagents and further round the corner a cab office. Station has good car drop off point/pick up as well.

The first station on the site was on the Great Western extension line and opened in 1904, although this closed when the Central Line was extended from North Action as fas as Greenford in 1947. The Central Line was extended to its present terminus at West Ruislip in 1948. The station is essentially a large island platform situated on a viaduct, with a single terminating bay platform in the middle for the Paddington trains, providing a perfect interchange. The street level buildings are in a straightforward modernist style, the ticket hall having a raised roof with fully glazed walls, giving it a light and spacious feel. There are a number of small businesses in the ticket hall. The Central Line operates at roughly 4-5 minute intervals off-peak, reducing in the evenings and on Sundays. The Paddington to Greenford service operates half hourly Mondays to Saturdays (closed Sundays). Oyster pay-as-you-go can be used on the Paddington service, making a useful interchange with the District Line at Ealing Broadway. Buses E6, 92 and 105 (to Heathrow) stop outside the station entrance. For train anoraks, the terminating platform still retains its GWR-style lower quadrant semaphore signal, and there is a semaphore signal gantry on the adjacent National Rail line as well.

Station has a cab office just past the ticket barriers, coffee shop and newsagent (where you can also top up your Oyster card of the queue is too long at the Oyster machines), plus bus stops directly outside the station, I would give this 5 stars but it loses one as there is no train information near the ticket office (showing you how long you have until the next train is due, you have wait until you are up on the platforms to see the train indicator boards, and many times I have just missed a train).
