Advantages: Loads of trains, regular tubes, shops in the centre and rick astley singalongs

Disadvantages: Trains are often delayed and as they are long distance its frustrating

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 people.

Anyway the station has two WH Smiths, a Wetherspoons which is huge, a M&S foodshop, Mcdonalds and Burger King.

Trains depart to Stansted Airport every hour, trains go to Southend, through essex, via East London, to Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, Tubes are the District/Circle line and Central Line, all are regular and quite efficient.

Overall the station has a place in my heart and its a paradox of busy people and crazy looking folk. Head east, its the new Central.

Summary: For travel, people watching and Rick Astley singalongs, this is the place to be!
