  • "Often in this area whenever I visit the city, its right next to famous landmarks and the bustling West End Usually pass through this station or Piccadilly/Covent Garden to get back to Paddington safely to leave London I came through yesterday evening and had a pleasant conversation with Gary G the man who was working at the ticket barriers at around 6:25pm by the entrance for Bakerloo line He came over and we chatted in general about London he gave me good advice about standing my ground when passing through stations and on the escalators etc we laughed about how people rush for the next tube when there is one every 2-3 mins even the underground staff cant understand the panic about it! I told him how daunting it can be as a tourist caught in the commuter rush hour and he gave me handy tips, I found him to be a helpful, friendly man, was a pleasure to chat with him"

An interesting station with more to it than what you really see. Platforms and escolators many never knew existed. I went on a hidden london tour and got to see the dissused platforms and tunnel areas and Also go inside some of the ventilation tunnels and watch trains arrive and depart below us through the vent grills above the tracks where the platforms are tour was really good and really worth going on the tour I had a great time and the tour guides was great and was really knowledgeable and told us what the disused areas was currently used for and some of the film's that featured those areas of the station. #londontransportmuseum #hiddenlondon

  • Brandon Fathy

Zone 1 tube station connecting to the Barkerloo, Jubilee, and Northern Lines. Like many London underground stations, it's well-signed and clean. Art decorate the walls of each in-use platform, which is a nice touch, but not unique. And yes, a few dis-used platforms that are out of reach are commonly used by filmmakers, including Bourne Ultimatum, Skyfall, Thor, Killing Eve, etc., but these will be out of reach to most visitors unless they book a special tour with London Transport. Unless you're a) a London resident with time to kill or b) a hardcore James Bond fan, the station is not worth a special visit

It's a great station,Charing Cross railway station also known as London Charing Cross is a central London railway terminus between the Strand and Hungerford Bridge in the City of Westminster. It is the terminus of the South Eastern main line to Dover via Ashford. All trains are operated by Southeastern, which provides the majority of commuter and regional services to south-east London and Kent.

  • Ed Amorim

O metrô de Londres (London Underground) também chamado de Tube é o mais antigo do mundo e um dos 5 maiores em extensão. É quase impossível conhecer Londres sem passar pelo metrô. Sem dúvidas o meu meio de transporte preferido na capital inglesa. As estações são limpas, seguras e as placas indicativas e mapas estão por toda parte. Dica: Compre um cartão Oyster Card que serve não só para o metrô mas para todos os outros meios de transporte público.

  • Richard Loat

Charring Cross Station is at the heart of the Bakerloo line and a quick walk up from the Embankment. It allows you to travel North/South as opposed to many of the lines which go East to West and is one of the few lines that crosses the River Thames. If heading to Trafalgar Square, this is likely your best bet by tube unless you want to take a bus.

  • Dario Milanese

La stazione è in comune alla Bakerloo e alla Northern Line, rispettivamente linee marrone e nera della metropolitana londinese. Fa parte della zona 1 della Travelcard. Fu attivata nel 1906 sulla Bakerloo e nel 1907 sulla Northern; si decise poi di unire le due stazioni mediante un tunnel di collegamento e infine diventarono un'unica fermata.

  • J.B.

Not the best station compared to other underground stations, it's very small with dirts on the walls. It's also very busy with staff on-site, so you if you need some help someone can. It runs 24 hours of the day as well. I did not have any issues when I commute through here. I hope this helps, enjoy your trip.

  • Claude Waddington

This station is disgusting, dilapidated and full of druggies. Let's say that if I were a woman, I would most certainly avoid this station as it doesn't feel safe. The station smells of piss, the station seems understaffed and the other day I saw a creepy old clown performing on the tube.

  • Nathalie Bauder

Schöne U-Bahn Station. Ist mit Rolltreppen zu erreichen und gut ausgebaut. Auch sehr sauber was nicht immer der Fall ist! Für Touristen ist die Charing Cross Station sehr nützlich da man von dort aus zu sehr vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten kommt.

  • ANN LIGHT

Charring Cross Tube station is on the Bakerloo and Northern lines Great and easy direct service for me from Paddington mainline/tube station It is also an interchange for main line services at Charing Cross station Easy to get out of

  • James Gordon

This underground station can be busy with lots of tourists there is no disabled access only stairs. Bakerloo and Northern lines stop here along with national rail. The underground station could do with a major upgrade.

  • Sie Barlow

Famous underground station with a hidden area/secret past available via special tours (via London Transport). Loved visiting and seeing the older areas of the station, as well as the ventilation tunnels.

  • Steve Webb

The best thing is the tour of the closed platforms. They've filmed countless TV and movies here, including James Bond Skyfall, and, most impressively for me, Prodigy shot their Firestarter video here too

  • Ian Fry

Bakerloo and Northern lines both pass through this station. Access to the main rail Charring Cross from the tube. Old station and the passages linking you between the platforms can feel a little mazey.

  • Masa Mrhige

トラファルガー広場からこの駅に着いて、チューブに乗りました。 私が利用したときはオイスターカードをSuicaと同等に考えていましたが、そこまで使い勝手がいいわけではありませんでした。しかしこのカード無しではロンドンで生活ができません。公共交通機関料金を節約する意味でも必要です。観光客であってもこれは必須です。最後に払い戻しが可能ですので、是非利用しましょう。

  • Raff Tatee

Beautiful old London Railway Station. Beautiful architecture. I like the atmosphere of large stations in London. I recommend a tour of the major train stations throughout London.

  • Sharath R Babu

Access to Bakerloo and Northern lines of the underground tube lines. A big station that has some parts that are clean and well maintained. Some parts where it could be better.

  • Mai Takahashi

Estação bem localizada e o sistema de metrô é muito bem sinalizado, rápido e prático, porém os corredores são um pouco sujos comparado com as outras estações.

  • Isaac Liu

The art on the walls and easy access to Trafalgar make this a great station. I wish it was on the jubilee line, but it's convenient enough as it is.

  • The Böhmis

The perfect metro station to start the city, located right on Trafalgar Square. Signage is basic, otherwise staff will be happy to help.

  • T K

At the heart of London, next to Trafalgar Square and Thames embankment. Bakerloo and Northern lines connections. Cool art on the walls.

  • Jorge Pérez

Buen sitio para reponer fuerzas,admirar algunas obras de los mejores pintores del mundo y seguir pateando la Cuidad...
