Charing Cross in City of London, Westminster

Handy for Waterloo, SE London and it had shops, restaurants, toilets and ATMs.

Clean & well signed railway terminus with free toilets, a selection of shops and some seating. Places to charge electronic devices available.

There is a side access through Villers street (across Bunsik) with the stares or escalator that take you to the platform level.

Fire alert for a non existent fire

Very busy place.. watch your valuable s

It reminded me of Harry Potter's films

A very nice terminus station for Southeastern trains going to Kent, Essex and East and south London. There are many eateries here and it connects to the London Underground (Bakerloo and Northen lines)

Disgusting dirty toilet. Otherwise station wise it is ok ish.

Clean and Efficient Railway Station in the Central London

The station is very compact, and can get very crowdef

Very old and tired . .even the small bar here has now closed as well as the BK 😔

A small and functional station. Journeys to the Southern part of the country are made from this station. Very close to Trafalgar square. In a location with a compact and useful structure.

Mostly unusable due to “engineering works” or break downs. Surely must have been more reliable at some point.

Got better over the years Toilets are a state tho

It is a busy station with many restaurants nearby. A bridge near the station offers a great viewpoint to see the iconic London Eye. If you have a credit card that works in the UK, you can tap to enter at the gate checkpoint and pay at the exit checkpoint at your destination.

There’s always a great train leaving from here. No matter how late.

Great station that is in a great location for theatre land. Services are regular & reliable. Staff are helpful & the sign boards keep you up to speed with platform numbers & train times. I prefer this station to St. Pancras.

The station is not so complex. Its easy to move around and connect to the platforms

2024 and they didn't find a way to put elevators for baby strollers and the like👍

Not the station it used to be. No station Pub😔

The most pathetic station on the planet. Last train before 23.30! In London? Pathetic.

A place to catch a underground train from A to B and back again.

Beautiful station. Ideal for going from The Shard to Trafalgar square

Splendid and magnificent architecture. Trains go to the South of England from here. Toilets available here. Kids friendly place. Near Trafalgar Square.

Clean station, very well organised.

I really like this station, it’s my favourite in london. Easy to navigate and clean. If you want to explore central london then I recommend getting off at this station as its right in the centre.

Very disappointed with the member of staff at Charing Cross Underground. My train to St. Pancras was cancelled due to flooding at the Thames tunnel. I ended up arriving in London at Charing Cross, 1 and half hours late. I was assured by staff on the train that staff knew of the St Pancras problems and would allow me to travel to St. Pancras by the Tube. No one seemed to inform the little guy that I I spoke to at the Underground gate. He was about 45-50 years old with a receding hairline. He took great pleasure in telling me that my ticket would not be sufficient. When I protested, he found it amusing. Not very professional. I was even more disappointed when the staff at St.Pancras made it clear that it should have been at no extra cost. There is no doubt that the guy at Charing Cross was very poor , but was there the correct communication? I realised later that local and national media made it clear that it should have been free travel to those that had trains cancelled, maybe the guy at Charing Cross doesn’t read?

I like so much it Has lodon big ben

A useful London Terminal/ interchange station, however staff didn’t seem very friendly for the majority. - I went to the platform (P5/6) where my train was departing from, and a lady said that there was no point in using the platform when I knew full-well that my train was going to be leaving from that specific platform (P6). Her attitude and the other man that was there alongside her was very rude to me. Will be using another station instead, or will just ignore the instructions and do what I need to do as at the end of the day, the lady just interfered, the whole situation would’ve been simply avoided had she just left me to my own devices.

Easily accessible, lots of tube and overground train and bus services, and in great location to access Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden, as well as loads of shops

Small and crowded. The accessible toilet should not need more than a Radar key to access it.

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......

Easy access, toilets and shops available.

It is not possible to book a ticket here. The station is noisy, and the cashier-operator, sits behind the glass, and the microphone doesn't work. I could only see him moving his lips. After a minute of such "communication", I just turned around and went to another station to buy a ticket. Lost time and nerves.

Mainline station into south London and Kent.

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.

It's probably one of the best stations in London for quick access to Kent and Sussex.

It's a train station. Some trains (some on time!), many more people.

London Station for trains to parts of East Sussex and Kent. A point deduction for vile smelling toilets.

Not long to wait for train, on time both ways. Toilets not great.

Walked through here trying to find my way to the Embankment station, obviously I walked the wrong way, but this station was very nice looking.

By London standards small. Subterranean toilets, though an accessible cubicle is at concourse level. W H Smiths, West Country Pasties and Upper Crust are the only retail outlets on the concourse. A waiting room is near the barriers to Platforms 3 & 4. Entrances/Exits to Strand are narrow for a busy station.

great milkshake and burgers best i’ve had.

Tidy modern station with downstairs toilets that are a bit whiffy. You can smell them upstairs so just follow your nose

It's a station staff helpful but toilets not good!!

A very busy station with good service

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.

What can I say? It's cleaner and more accessible than it used to be years ago, but there are no where enough places available to sit and wait.

Trains mostly late, one of the worst terminals in London. Stuff gets shifted to London bridge often. Shops terrible except for mini m&s but that's pretty thin. Burger king closed for years now. People always stand in the way just to torment you when you're trying to get to a train because of poor layout issues. No design, no art, no culture , very tired. Oh they do have a new screen that's slightly helpful to passengers... meh

Great links to all parts of southern England

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.

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.

כמו כל תחנה בלונדון, תענוג של תחבורה ציבורית

Time table is a good size. Easy to read. Good and clean toilets Easy access to the platforms.

Last stop on my train, there’s a range of restaurants of stores in the station. Toilets always stink though

Does what it is supposed to do, it's a train station and has kept that at the fore. Minimal clutter blocking access in and out and shops are out of the way

Great, central train station in London.

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.

Always clean, always welcoming.

Pasamos en el autobús camino de Leicester square

Love this station as it’s an easy access to London Bridge from central London if you are near Trafalgar Square or National gallery.

Well organized and clean, shops inside while you wait for your train, staff that we encountered were friendly and helpfull as we had a baby with us they tried to make it as easy as possible with the push chair

What is there to say? It's a very busy SE railway terminus serving the West end of London with links to underground services, buses and a whole host of shops, theatres and London landmarks.

Just showed my ticket to staff member who had gate open- I was carrying trolley and heavy bag so access through automatic barriers can be tricky. Despite showing him my ticket and being virtually in front of him at the big gate, he made me go through the automated barriers- a true gent- 👎🏽

Busy main line station. Quite clean and tidy. Staff were good. Had a pleasant chat with the barrier guard who knew the times and was informed.

I mean it's a busy train station what more is there to say. Some food and drink businesses and toilets on site

Ok staff good apart from cancelled train

charing cross is google much benefiter and revenue - home land stand

Don't know why trains to Abbey Wood don't leave here late at night. A P in the A to have to run between platforms at London Bridge just to make the connection. Thanks South Eastern!

New colour boards weren't needed

Clean and efficiently run...This was the first time I saw a commercialised automated cleaning machine

Darren from the ticket desk at Charing Cross was extremely helpful and courteous. It's an absolute joy to come across such a helpful and 'old school' staff member who has good manners and is also personable. Well done to him.

I like this station. Every train seems to leave on time. Plenty of food outlets all in a small space. Great location for access to covent garden or west end.

Southeastern Railways are extremely slow ....stop , stop, start ....wait .....start , stop, wait ....the station is quiet, given the level of service you get from Southeastern , it's no surprise.

1. There is a public restroom. 2. There is a waiting room. 3. There is a coffee shop. 4. There is a bookstore. 5. There is a parking lot. 6. There are Boots and M&S. 7. The station building is a hotel building. 8. This route runs from Rundeng to Kent. 9. It is next to the river Thames, and Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square are nearby.

Central station for London landmarks like Trafalgar Sq, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben etc. A few shops and cafes. Very helpful pleasant staff who put up with quite a lot of difficult customers very well!

Lovely small station with good food outlets.

Its an very good station but the train are very late sometimes

It's a train station. It's clean. Not much seating. Burger King looked shut 😭 good sign boards.

Allemaal prachtig echt leuk …. Londen

Great London station with shops and near food!

Apart from that the machines don't accept Scottish bank notes it's a great place to meet up with before going on your way

Always helpful staff to ask directions.

Cannot praise the staff highly enough. Thursday 15th Sep. I missed my connection because previous train delay. Booking clerk, train guard and barrier clerk went out of their way to help. I reached my destination only 15 mins late. Superb service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ fully deserving of their pay requests.

Ωραίος σταθμός ,και εξωτερικά!!,

Calm, quiet, organized and cool.

Mainline station. Easy access but many shops and facilities in the station currently not available.

A great train station. Full of history

Efficient, clean, on time, lots of shops available

The primary commuter terminus for people from Kent to London. Station has six platforms and is connected to a Tube station which links to Bakerloo, Jubilee, and Northern Lines. It is also a very short walk from Embankment Pier for those needing London River Services. Fare zone 1. This is also the closest station to Trafalgar Square and London's nominal centre. True, Charring Cross used to be an important port-station with maritime connections in Victorian times, those days are long gone; the present building dates to 1951. Like most central London terminals, restaurants and coffeehouses abound; these are all common chains at regular London prices. Ticket purchases and waiting rooms are available. There are places to catch pint too. A 1980s office block towers above the station, but this is more tastefully done than at most modern UK stations. Some bad news: there is no bike parking and toilets are not free. Transport fans might want to check the station out, but otherwise this is not a worthwhile tourist destination. Some have commented on the frequency of visible homelessness at Charring Cross Station, but this hardly the fault of Network Rail or staff. In fact, the staff at Charring Cross are very helpful, and - like most London terminals - the station is kept clean.

First time on a overhead train in ages, on my way to Plumstead and Think Big!!

It's a station next to Trafalgar Square and the West end

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.

Good sized station as one would expect in a city. Sadly this station really dose need a over haul, very run down and dated with hardly any seats to sit and wait.

Nice big train station. Easy to view train times. Plenty of helpful staff around

من المحطات الجميل بلندن .. في حال رغبتي بالتنقل ..

Ein wichtiges Zentrum von 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.

Lovely part of London perfect for the whole family
