A really iconic station. Very close to Trafalgar Square. If you’ve never been to a major UK train station pop in here. It’s actually small and compact. It’s serves trains down to the South of England.
It’s London’s most central train station with two tube lines.
It has a WH Smith inside the station.
It's probably one of the best stations in London for quick access to Kent and Sussex.
Centrally located on north bank of Thames for London visitors arriving from Kent and Sussex. Within walking distance of many of central London's most iconic places. The concourse is clean and functional with free toilets down two flights of stairs. There is a whsmiths which should stay open until midnight when the last trains head south. Stunning views across Thames from bridge before train enters mostly enclosed platforms. Ticket office, travel info, cash machines, hot drinks, pasties, free drinking water, clear departures info board, underground metro for northern and bakerloo, plus Embankment to access circle and district lines, daytime escalators to Villiers street for Embankment, taxi rank, six platforms......
The station has a historical interior and exterior, which makes it different than others. Most importantly the train connects different South East areas through this. There are many facilities available, like clean toilets, male, female, baby changing, disabled. There are coffee shops, chocolate shop and small retail shop too. The station is mostly clean. It is moderately busy apart from pick times. The train time display works fine, sometimes update a little late but verbal updates are pretty fantastic and frequent. Enjoy 😊
Love this station as it’s an easy access to London Bridge from central London if you are near Trafalgar Square or National gallery.
Last stop on my train, there’s a range of restaurants of stores in the station. Toilets always stink though
As always, Charing Cross Station was clean, tidy and well staffed. The information about trains is easy to find. I particularly appreciate the departures board at the foot of the stairs from the underground station.
A nice railway terminus with both regional and local services throughout its 6 platforms. From my experience, platforms 1, 2, 3 and sometimes 5 are for local services while platforms 4 and 6 are for regional services. The station does have a worn-out feel to it, and could do with a small refurb (not the platform clocks though, they are fine). Overall a decent terminus which I always use when heading to London.
A lot of history in this station, but also in need of some love and repair. Not a great range of shops available (and open) on site. Plenty of trains heading south of the river. Historic (albeit rebuilt) monument out front.
Looks good on the outside, not so wow on the inside, but they have places to eat and drink, public toilets (you have to pay). The main reason I give it 5 stars is that the trains take you to lots of different locations.
Zone 1 station. 6 platforms. Southeastern trains to Sevenoaks, Hastings, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford International, Hayes, Dartford, Ramsgate. Toilet and Wi-Fi is available in station. Coffee Nero, Boots, Burger Kings and other shops are inside of the station. Taxi rank and bus stations are outside of the station. There is a covered-footpath leading to Embankment station.
It's a good station, always clean, helpful staff, good toilet facilities, decent sitting areas, easy access to Tube station, just missed more places to eat, what I do understand during Covid many businesses closed down. Maybe it's a time to reopen new fast food stores with competitivety. Great station in general.
Charing cross is a reasonably big junction where you alight to catch connection trains to other places. Long platforms seating on the platforms is limited.i didn't see any refreshments stalls on the platforms nor toilets. We got down at Charing Cross to ho to the Cinnamon Kitchen Bazaar. While we were hurrying to the restaurant, could not explore the station well.
Nice enough mainline station with all the facilities you’d expect and a handful of shops such as The Pastie Shop and Hotel Chocolate. There aren’t as many fast trains stopping at Orpington after peak hours as there used to be but, that’s progress I guess.
One of the distinct areas of great marvel of engineering within the sub-terrainial London transport network.
It is always amazes the ingenuity of these projects especially how they compliment, augment, and beautifies the joy of logistics within the City and it's immediate environ!!!
It is a very busy station with a lot of places to grab quick snacks easily. The environment is bright with a lot of tall buildings to feed your eyes with.
