Liverpool Street Station (London)

Whenever I hear Liverpool Street Station mentioned it brings back very fond memories for me. As a young girl I would travel up to Liverpool Street Station with my parents for an exciting day at Madama Tussuads or the Natural History Museum or a night in London to see the Christmas Lights in Oxford Street with the huge shops all being open till late at night. Then when I reached 15 I started my first job in the City of London in a Stockbrokers and used to commute to Liverpool Street everyday to work. I loved the hustle bustle of the Station life. Not so good when trains were running late after a hard day at work, but still a great atmosphere to soak ...  Read the complete review

I travel via Liverpool Street daily and although I see it everyday whenever I see a picture I forget the station I know and remember the organised chaos of the whole station singing 'Never gonna give you up' by Rick Astley, is it the spirit of East Londoners, Essex people and East Anglians or was it Facebook groups, who knows but for me it kind of sums the station up, chaotic, generally due to one train delay or another, full of incredibly interesting people, its such a great place to sit and watch people wander by wondering are they tramps or off for a night in shoreditch, are they businessmen or simply drinkers dressed up in suits, its a paradise of random ...  Read the complete review

This is my first attempt at reviewing an actual building, but its one I visit regularlly, so here goes! Liverpool Street station is one of only a few stations owned and run by Railtrack itself, this enables them to focus on providing a great service at this station.

The four train operators using this station are Anglia Railways (runs between Norwich and London) First Great Eastern (Ipswich, Clacton and Harwich to London) WAGN and the Standstard Express. The station was first built in ...  Read the complete review

Located right in the heart of London's bustling financial district, Liverpool Street Station really should serve as something of a wake-up call to some of London's other mainline rail termini, it certainly puts Kings Cross/St.Pancras to shame (although Paddington is now much better, it seems to have been redeveloped to a similar model) The station always seems to have an air of calm about it, but at the same time a hustle and bustle in all the shops and in the waiting areas...I've never to experience it at 5pm on a Friday night though - that's probably a different matter altogether. The good points:- - Large, open station: means the ...  Read the complete review

Liverpool Street is located to the east of the City of London and serves the major parts of East Anglia including Cambridge, Norwich and Ipswich. When visiting it now in all its white marble splendour it is hard to imagine that it was not always like this. Years ago in 1983 when doing my industrial training year as part of my degree, I visited Liverpool Street and took many photographs. In those days, it was very dark and dirty. Just look at it now. The Station itself has a long waiting area and if you look up – you can see a rectangular perimeter of shops, which can be accessed up a double staircase. There are numerous vendors including ...  Read the complete review
