Suggestions for Platform near Riverside, London

SubtleBlade • January 18, 2010Best coffee behind the ticket barriers is Nero's on the bridge btwn platforms 2 & 3.

Alastair H. • July 2, 2017A must visit. Climb to the viewing platform round the neverending spiral staircase and enjoy the views. Or, if you're like me, cling on and be scared.

Jacques • April 22, 2015Amazing view of the River Thames from Platform 1. The Shard and the Tate Modern are to the right. And Tower Bridge in the distance.

Vicky H. • July 7, 2010Even if it does smell the bike parking on platform 10 is awesome and always half empty.

Lauren K. • November 1, 2014One of London's best small quirky museums. Climb up the creaky wooden staircase and step back into the 1820s, when students filled the platforms to watch the next amputation: http://bit.ly/1wmJzhY

Ben • January 28, 2012Platform 1 is just one of many platforms to get the hell out of that station!!!

Giles M. • November 12, 2012Walk to end of platform to get seats!

Simonpeep • September 6, 2011If you are heading for cannon street, run with everyone else to platform 3. The indicators are wrong... Mostly.

Max C. • September 29, 2011If there is a train at the platform, and the board above indicates it's going to the station you want, board the train.

Lucie • October 28, 2016One of my favorite places in London. See the caffe and also the new 10th floor viewing platform. The view to London apartments was surprising

Kostas D. • April 1, 2012Off to Gatwick!!! Faster than platform 9

Pavlína G. • March 28, 2021Allow extra time to get to the platform.

Robin R. • May 19, 2010Check out the concrete beams directly above each platform

Phil S. • May 4, 2013My absolute favourite platform! Apart from 3, 6 and 7 which are also pretty cool!

Tom I. • December 2, 2011It's a train platform. And the 15th of 16 at London Bridge Station.

Maite L. • March 20, 2013If you are going to Charing Cross don't stand at the beginning of the platform... Go at the end, I you're early enough you can even get a seat!

Nick L. • August 31, 2018When coming into London coach 5 doors are right next to the escalator. Handy if changing here for Charing Cross

Mark S. • April 29, 2013It's busy :)

Laolu O. • June 21, 2018Going to Dartford, use the lift access for Platform 7

Lewis E. • September 16, 2011Best place for a fast train to Norwood junction

David B. • August 10, 2016Access to DLR platforms is often restricted at peak times, which means you'll sometimes queue for 10/15 minutes.

ian • May 3, 2013The smallest platforms, depth-wise, you're likely to find on any train station, but a great view of the Thames Tunnel.

Jack S. • August 19, 2022Now possible to access the ⬛Northern Line by walking through the 🟪Elizabeth Line platforms into Moorgate without incurring a journey fare. Might be quicker walking above ground or on H&C line

Leanne • July 22, 2015Pros: Close to Royal London & museum, easy to use overground. Cons: have fun trying to get the right train on the underground platform.

John L. • May 22, 2013This platform is only unlucky, if you miss the train!

Graham P. • May 9, 2011This is the best place to change from Bank bound to Beckton or City airport bound DLR. Just walk across platform, no step to lug cases down and up

Angus L. • July 10, 2012Lost property office now moved to Ludgate Circus end of Southbound platform INSIDE the ticket barriers. NOT in Holborn ticket office area any more.
