Liverpool Street Station

Make sure you mind that giant gap!
I guess all station’s about the same, but Liverpool station in particular is quite big given its got overgrounds and national rail as well!
Make sure you read the signs! At least it is quite clearly marked and easy to navigate.

La verdad es que poco puedo decir de esta estación. Aunque reúné en un mismo espacio tanto los trenes que llegan a Londres, ya sean desde el aeropuerto como trenes de cercanías; como la estación de metro o Underground, la cual enlaza con varias lineas más.
En cuanto al aspecto de la estación (y lo que pude ver) estaba muy limpia y muy bien organizada, es decir, que para los que llegamos de turistas era difícil perderse. Los empleados ayudaban a los que iban y venían con maletas cargadas y orientaban a los usuarios locales para agilizar el paso a los «nuevos».
Tanto la salida como la entrada a las vías fue rápida y las señales, como digo, lo hacían más fácil.
Volveré!!

An appalling station — I’ve never really liked it and the low life that hangs around especially at night. I’ve been waiting for my Australian partner to arrive from Harwich International port tonight. I asked at the Information Desk and the woman assistant told me that trains connect from Norwich. I was unsure of which train he’d be travelling on as he had to clear immigration and collect his luggage. Transpires there’s engineering works on. Then after a four hour wait, a bus indicated as arriving on time from Harwich International due to engineering works. When I asked back at the Information Desk, a rather sarcastic man said buses stop on the street outside. I asked two of the guards by the barriers. Although they were helpful and polite they were unsure of where the bus arrived. Clueless.
There are some high street name stores in this station. As I’ve said, I’ve never really liked it and avoid Liverpool Street Station if I can. Ease the strain, take the plane.

Easy to navigate.
But why charge for the toilet?
Free the pee, buddy.
— The London Haiku series continues.
Liverpool: I actually love you, but I never have change on me and the train from Luton is lloonngg.

This is such a busy station at any time of day, as not only is it a hub of activity for travellers going to the tube, national rail or buses, there are loads of shops and places to eat.
A really large boots, with a great food section, which they have recently expanded to offer more than sandwiches with great lunch deals. Plenty of tills, and self service too, so you never have to wait long in a queue even when it is at the most busiest at lunch times.
Whatever you are looking for, I am sure you can find here, the station has two levels. There’s a card shop, flower shop, clothes shops, M&S Foods (two branches), WHSmiths (two branches), the usual station forecourt coffee, snacks and sandwich bars, Upper Crust, Delice de France, and a MacDonalds (upper level), and even a hotel, Andaz Hotel, right next to the station, with it’s higher end restaurants and bars.
So a station with everything and anything, for anyone and everyone!

Very big station with access to overground and underground trains. It get busy over peak times and never seem to sleep until later at night…
I used the station several times and found it fairly easy to navigate. That is with the exception of the tube station… It is EXTREMELY confusing; wonder who designed it… There is staircases up and staircases down and a multitude of signs and duplicated signs… Every road seems to be duplicated!
Like me you probably have no choice but to use the station from time to time…

I rather like Liverpool street, they steer clear of my massive train pet hate of telling you which platform your train is on thirty seconds before the doors shut for departure, so that’s already good for me.
The temporary oyster readers are a pain I’m the butt, but otherwise, it isn’t too rushy in rush hour, there’s a good number of shops and eateries, and trains seem to be cheaper from here compared to KX too when you can travel from here

For a train station in London, this is great!
Always clean, great connecting trains, the tube is a short walk that’s all in doors.
The food options are great. And there’s even a Starbucks ;-)
Buses are close, and it’s really in the heart of the City of London.
Lots of construction work is happening around the area, so I take it that this station is just going to better.
And for those that haven’t seem the awesome Flash Mob that occurred at this station back in 2009 (or if you just want to revisit the amazement), check it out at:
Enjoy.

Well, where do I begin…
Liverpool Street station tends to be one of my favourite stations due to the vast amount of people who either interchange from here or has this station as their departure or arrival station.
Not only do station amaze me (because I like trains), but I do enjoy stations that are more than just stations. The ones in particular that if you are hungry and fancy a snack you have Uppercrust, pastry stores or even McDonalds or need to do buy a gift in a rush then there are a few outlets within the station that may tickle your fancy.
Having used this station quiet frequently I have witnessed my fair share of activity here whether a flashmob or a football mob, a protest or a serious case of bad delays and just feel this station has a bit more of a life than many.
***Great station, always great when it is a departure station meaning more of a chance to grab a seat as you’re on first and also so many things around the local area that compliment Liverpool Street as a whole. Station lost a star so giving it 4 Stars because if something goes wrong (such as a delay or a train going tech) then the queues are just outrageous, but, even if you are delayed amd caught up, at least you have all of amenities around you***

Liverpool Street is a grand old station, one of the main hubs of London. It has basically every shop you could want. I pass through it twice a day, to and from work on the tube, and have travelled on trains to and from the station several times as well. I love the way it looks from the outside at twilight.

This is a great little station with plenty of amenities, but not very crowded. We used it to train to Cambridge, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Definitely an an easier choice than the larger Euston and King’s Cross stations – if you have the option.

Mittelgroßer Regionalbahnhof, der vorwiegend die Regionalzüge in den Nord-​Osten Londons bedient. Sauber und im Grunde ohne Einwände. Sogar das Personal (Schaffner) war freundlich.

This was my favorite station in a recent European tour!
Here’s what I loved:
* It’s big, bright, and open
* The shops! This place seriously has everything. But the note-​worthy shops for me were the Starbucks for free wifi and the M&S food for a quick, totable snack.
* Loads of ATMs and ticket machines… never a line!
* Super easy to navigate

Sehr belebter Bahnhof, wo die Züge und die U-​Bahn als Verbindungen zur Verfügung stehen, recht viel los. Neben einigen Cafes und Schnellrestaurants gibt es auch eine Gepeäckaufbewahrung, die für den ersten Tag 8,50 Pfund kostet, ab dem 2. Tag 5 Pfund pro Tag.
Vom Service her kann man den Infoschalter kontaktieren, die einem immer helfen, man sollte aber die Wege von Bahnen zu U-​Bahnen nicht unterschätzen.

I love Liverpool Street station! It is huge with loads of shops around and in a great part of London! You can get anywhere from here and it is usually packed with good looking fancy people.
You shouldn’t go there when you’re hungry because there is too much food around and you’d probably want to buy it all.
Underground, normal trains and airport express trains, you can find it all at this station! Just great!

My friend (a fellow American adopted Londoner) almost always suggests that we meet up at Liverpool Street Station. It is easier for her coming in from West Ham or wherever in the East part of London she happens to be. And it is still within Zone 1 for me (I’m usually at a tourist hotel with loads of university students… trying to get away from them and I don’t think many of them ever make it to Liverpool Street Station). However, every time we meet up… just a handful of times at the station, it is always confusing and takes between 5 and 10 minutes to find each other!
For as confusing as it can be for meeting up, it is fairly easy to navigate… maybe not immediately, but once you stop, look around, take a breath, and calm down… navigation becomes clearer. And while there are loads of people wandering and rushing about, the station does seem very roomy and open, which makes it seem not as crowded. While my bank account doesn’t enjoy it, I do appreciate the amount of stores for shopping, gives me something to do while I am waiting for my fellow American… and a reference point on where to meet me :). For me the bus station part is more confusing than anything else, but I attribute that to 1) being American and 2) I usually stick to the Tube or walking.

You know what, Liverpool Street Station, you’re OK with me.
Yes, you can be crowded due to the popularity of your station, but that’s just because you’re a great drop-​off point for those working in the city. But you’re easy to find, easy to get in an out of, and easy to navigate once within. None of this labyrinth nonsense. This way to the tube, this way to the rail, this way to the busses.
Plus, you’ve got a pretty killer shopping and eating center right there, in case someone needs to do some shopping and/​or eating. A large Boots, some japanese, sweets, Mediterranean, whatever you need. Don’t even have to leave the station.
Yep, I’m giving you an official thumbs up.

Esta estación de metro fue como nuestro campamento base los días que estuvimos en Londres. Aquí llegamos desde el Stansted Express, de aquí se puede hacer andando una bonita ruta peatonal hacia el mercadillo de Spitafields, o a la zona de White Chapel, o si salís de marcha, por Brick Lane.
Todo tipo de tiendas de regalos, y bastante variedad gastronómica. Desde unos plátanos en el M&S, de arriba, hasta unas exquisitas empanadas de carne o salchicha abajo.
Los servicios son de los de pagar moneditas, creo que 0,30 libras.
Arriba, en el exterior, hay unas dársenas para coger un montón de autobuses.
Super bien comunicada…

It’s a very decent station. You’ve got the Tube, which I use for my commute, as well as buses and National Rail. The station is usually pretty busy, and there are lots of shops where even non-​travelers will come to make purchases. Pretty well organized. Nothing wrong here.

Liverpool Street station also know as the Essex intersection!
Hammersmith & City, Central, Circle, Metropolitan and of course the overland trains to none other than than the anomaly that is Essex!
All’s said and done, I rather like Liverpool Street and would highly recommend it as a transit. However I hasten to add, during the week it will be full to the brim with bankers and city folk, and we all know how much we all currently love them.
Finally there are also some good shops in the station; Monsoon, Scribble, Boots, Reiss, Charbonnel et Walker (excellent champagne truffles), Wasabi and even a
! Classic.

This station somehow manages to cope with the hoards of city workers, commuters, weekend travellers and tube changers whom decend on this station all at once.
Pubs, shops, cafes, restaurants and coffee shops at the ready, trains seem to be mostly on time. Easy transfer to and from the tube too.
One of LDN’s better transport hubs!
The only downside is that it’s typically full of people from Essex :-p

Another busy Underground station that also serves as the terminus for National Rail, Liverpool Street Station is very light and airy and an easy place to make the change from below to above ground transportation.
A very large departure hall which has a limited number of seats. Several of the «quick» food shops are available here, including Upper Crust, Whistlestop, West Cornwall Pasty, Camden Food Company, Burger King, Thornton’s, Marks and Spencers and the ubiquitous AMT Coffee. There are also outlets for WH Smith and Tie Rack, plus a left luggage. A freehouse is located upstairs, as is a sit down Italian restaurant.
I found some of the announcements hard to understand, specifically the «live» ones. The recorded ones were just fine. The very large departure board is easy to read and updated frequently, even if they don’t post the platforms until about ten minutes before departure.
All in all, a decent station. One of the better ones that I’ve transited lately. Note: this is the same station featured in the T-​Mobile «flash mob» dance.

Liverpool street station just says London to me. I worked in this area for years a long time ago. I used to spend my lunch just people watching at this station. I love the busy made rush hour madness! Plus a boots to pick up a sarni for lunch.
Love it!

Unlike the folk in the recent phone company commercial (I can’t even remember which one it isso the adverts have really done the trick there haven’t they!) nothing about this station makes me want to dance. I mean it’s not Kings Crass, but still. control yourselves. I don’t really like this stationbut I’m giving it to 3 stars because my dislike is not entirely rational when I break it. break it down.
Ok. This station is convenient. Its right near the city and it goes to a lot of places, in particular of course Stanstead Airport. It’s a bit busy but I would expect it to be a whole lot worse considering where it goes and comes from. I’ve never had to queue too long for a ticket machine or a cashpoint.
The selection of shops here is better than any other station in London. not really a difficult taskand one it would probably win if it had only the lovely cheese shop. Apart from the dairy delights of the cheese shop though, it’s just more of the usual, we can charge you whatever the heck we want because you haven’t got time to go anywhere else.
Maybe my familiarity with this station has bred contempt. It’s no St Pancras, but its certainly above average when you consider the other London hubs.

Bin im April 2008 von Heathrow nach Liverpool Street Station gefahren. Da ich erst am Abend in meine Unterkunft kam, mußte ich mein Gepäck am Bahnhof deponieren. Am Bahnsteig 10 gibt es eine Gepäckaufbewahrung. Ich habe dafür 6 Pfund bezahlt und konnte mich so ohne Gepäck in der Stadt bewegen.
Bei der Abgabe des Gepäcks muß man einige Fragen beantworten und das Gepäck wird wie am Flughafen durchleutet. Bezahlt wird bei Abholung. Die Gepäckaufbewahrung ist nicht an jedem Bahnhof vorhanden.
