Travel to the train station Liverpool Street from London city centre

As the capital city, London has always been the central hub for all UK long-distance rail travel, with all Victorian-era railroad companies building their own terminus in the city. Nearly two centuries later, most of the stations remain in operation, serving routes spreading in a radius around the country. The train station London Liverpool Street is located in the City of London on the eastern side of the capital, and it serves as the terminus for lines from East Anglia and Essex. Like every London train station, London Liverpool Street is very well served by public transport, accessible by subway trains on the London Underground and city bus routes, meaning connections from the city centre are fast and frequent. Travelers planning a trip to some destinations in Essex might also use services from London Fenchurch Street station, located less than a mile (one kilometer) south of Liverpool Street.   

What is the best way to get to the train station from the city centre?

The train station London Liverpool Street is located fairly centrally, in the heart of the banking district in the City of London. Subway trains on the London Underground are the quickest and most convenient way of reaching the station. There are four lines operating from the city centre to London Liverpool Street: the Central Line (red), Hammersmith and City Line (pink), Circle Line (yellow), and Metropolitan Line (maroon), offering frequent connections from central stations every two or three minutes. London buses offer an alternative route to Liverpool Street station. The 133 service stops right by the entrance, and numerous city routes stop very close to the station on Bishopsgate or Primrose Street. Confident cyclists can use the Santander city bicycle rental service to get to the station, with numerous docking stations available in the city centre. Although bicycle lanes are being increased in central London, cycling does still involve negotiating heavy London traffic. There is a docking station on Brushfield Street, opposite the station.    

How far is it from the city centre to the train station? 

The train station London Liverpool Street is situated about three miles (five kilometers) east of Marble Arch and Oxford Street. Londoners are experts in estimating which subway trains offer the quickest connections. For trips to Liverpool Street, Central Line trains take approximately 15-20 minutes to reach the station from the center. Trains on other lines may take five to ten minutes longer. Bus services from central London are much more vulnerable to traffic conditions and roadwork delays in the city centre and can take 30-45 minutes or more to reach Liverpool Street station from the center, with longer journeys the norm during rush hour periods. Cyclists who are familiar with the route from central London should be able to complete the trip in 30 minutes or less.  

How accessible is the train station for those with limited mobility?

The train station London Liverpool Street has step-free access to the main concourse. Because all of the train platforms are on the same level, elevator access is not an issue, but elevators are available for access to the shopping mall on the upper level. Staff assistance is available at the station for passengers with limited mobility, with wheelchairs and electric vehicle transport. There are accessible restrooms on the main concourse. In general, using subway trains on the London Underground network is not straightforward for passengers with limited mobility, who will have to confirm in advance whether stations offer step-free access to platforms and whether elevators are in use. Some, but not all, London bus services offer low level and ramp access with wheelchair spaces. Most London taxis are accessible for wheelchair users. 

Local tips: the train station points of interest

Subway trains on the Underground network are the most popular choice for Londoners heading to Liverpool Street station, although in both early morning and late afternoon rush hours, trains can get very busy, which may be a problem for passengers carrying a lot of luggage. Taxis are much more expensive but may be preferable for heavily-laden travelers. London Liverpool Street Station is located in the heart of one of East London's busiest areas. In a five minute walk to the east, passengers can explore the stalls of the Victorian covered market at Spitalfields, with craft jewelers, fashion designers, bookstalls, and food trucks offering diverse international cuisine. The concourse at the station has numerous cafes, fast food outlets, a mini supermarket offering picnic essentials, and a pub. There is a left luggage facility for passengers who want to drop off their bags before exploring the local area.
