Disadvantages: None

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 a fruit and veg store in the entrance to the tube station.

Liverpool Street station is well served by tube lines. It is located on the Central, Metropolitan, and Circle lines.

Turning right out of the station is Bishopsgate where there are many new and excitingly designed office blocks. There is a Tesco Metro opposite, which seems to do a roaring sandwich trade. In fact this area of the City is bustling and wealthy.

A wander down to Aldgate via Petticoat Lane shows a different story. Here you will find old-fashioned bagel shops in a Jewish quarter. This is the start of the East end.

Liverpool Street is a transformed station which represents the confidence and affluence of the area in which it lies.

Also serving Colchester, Southend and White Hart Lane. The best way to get to Tottenham's football ground. For those who go by tube, Seven Sisters is a long walk to the ground.

I must agree with you that it certainly is a much improved area
