Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Lionel BPickering, UK245 contributionsWe were previously familiar with this station from our use of Eurostar services. We had no idea that trains also ran underneath the station, which we discovered on catching a Thameslink Train to Brighton. Signposting was good, and we easily reached the below-ground platforms via a lift. (Escalators and stairs also available).Written 24 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BMcC004Madison, WI283 contributionsBusy. Not much in the way of good places to eat. Did Not wait in line for the Harry Potter picture. Got one between people. I assume they charge for pictures. Harry Potter Shop was packed.Written 19 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Lesley MAuckland Central, New Zealand138 contributionsI have been here for 7 weeks and have nothing but praise for London’s underground network. Trains come regularly and it is so easy to get around. The citymapper’ app was fantastic for giving me the best options to get from A to B, even showing the best exit to use from the station and map for walking to my destination once out on the street. Being able to use a contactless card makes everything so much easier and there is no need to have an oyster card or buy tickets. Rush hour can be extremely busy and some stations like Oxford circus are best avoided after 4.30pm if you can help it.Written 27 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sinza2017Orange, France504 contributionsThe London buses run above ground and you get to see the city as you move between sites. We were very pleased with our day out and about. Google maps was helpful in finding bus stops.Written 1 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- zuvBucharest, Romania37,228 contributionsI used their services on the Gatwick Airport - Victoria route and back. The train is clean, fast, you have free access to Wi-Fi, the seats are comfortable. Tickets are expensive. Unfortunately, on the way there, the train had a breakdown and we had to take another train, from an intermediate station.Written 30 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cheekycockney190757Basildon, UK11,428 contributionsVisited on Wednesday 23rd June 2021 As part of a day trip to London. Woolwich Ferry. It was still free and my first time on it since I went on it as part of the circular cycle around East London back in 2012. I exited the King George V DLR Station and walked the rather decrepit streets the short distance to the Woolwich Ferry. You can queue with your vehicle or walk under the Thames using the foot tunnel. I chose to queue and as there was only 1 of the 2 Ferrys in operation the time to wait was circa 20-30 mins. Once the Ferry was on my side, you could access the ferry and either stand in the open or the covered side seating area. The ferry takes about 10 mins to empty its vehicle and people contents and be refilled. The crossing takes about 10 mins and provides a free view down the Thames. Once in Woolwich, it is a similarly poor/decrepit area of now South London. Either way, unless you have a reason to use this free ferry there is little value to doing so.Written 18 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DiscokingWest Midlands, UK128 contributionsVisited on a recent trip to Lords Cricket ground.
Extremely busy station as you would expect. Lots of cafes and bars not too crowded so quite easy to get a drink.
The toilets were disgustingly bad they did not flush were crowded and the lock on the door did not work. Horrid experience as far as that goes.
Fairly easy to get a Taxi outside information on trains is good.Written 14 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However, the staff cannot be held responsible for their surroundings. Recently I observed one employee go beyond the call of duty to help passenger after passenger understand where to go. He was so patient and good-humoured.Written 3 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- milongistaFoix, France39 contributions2 trains cancelled on Sunday so I paid for an upgrade to first class. The train was very crowded. I got the impression that asking for more crisps was greedy, getting more milk for coffee was causing trouble. Only people paying for wine got service. I stayed very polite but considering how much you pay for first class the staff could give a better impressionWritten 29 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

“I VISITED THIS PLACE”…
… after walking from St. Pancreas Train Station to the British Museum, I entered this station and returned to collect and fetch my luggage by entering this station. It was certainly OK- my first encounter with the London Underground on that visit.
WOULD I VISIT AGAIN?
Sure/ if it were convenient for me after my next visit to the British Museum
WAS IT WORTH THE COST?
Sure
ADVICES
Use it to travel to the awesome world-class British Museum

Apart from that the interior of the train looked clean. That being said if people are paying a lot of money I think that the standard should be better.
I have also noticed that Thameslink cancel a multiple amount of trains at short notice. They need to make a positive change.Written 8 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But today, now I occasionally opt for a quicker skip over from Stratford to Kings cross, I have consistently found the interior drab, heavily worn-out flooring, and gunk on the door step plates, and don't get me started on the awful pong of pee throughout the carriages! What on earth is going on with their fleet of trains I cannot imagine. For the price paid for the trip, I would expect Southeastern to keep up the pride they once had. Such a shame, as the trains as a means of travel, do a very good job of delivering the traveller at a good pace. Come on Southeastern! You can do this!Written 13 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Carol L6 contributionsHuge thank you to female platform steward JO for her immediate and caring assistance to my daughter who was taken very poorly and was traveling Southeastern from London to Ashford International Station. JO escorted my daughter along with all her luggage to me at the car.. thank you so very much I appreciate you. 17/8/2024Written 18 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlexSpain2 contributionsThis service is awful, we were stranded in Luton because there were no substitutes for cancelled trains. Unbelievably unreliable and absolutely inexcusable for a place like thisWritten 10 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WarbyBicester, UK3,740 contributionsKings X out
Train showed as delayed with differing information. Told platform and to board. As we got to the train the train on the neighbouring platform was emptying and they were all boarding my train. Then informed my train was cancelled which was not strictly true as they had basically combined two trains into one. Arrived over an hour late on a busy train. Information was miss leading at times but constantly updated which is always appreciated. Buffet car not in operation
Rtn to Kings X no issues
Overall comfortable and clean but delays never greatWritten 4 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
