Suggestions for Platform near Tower, London

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.

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

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

@Luise_ G. • April 12, 201217:00, only one stop to benfleet

@Luise_ G. • January 3, 2014Good place to find trains going east, franchise in jan 14 is national express/ c2c

@Luise_ G. • May 23, 2013Try to get on a c2c 15secs before departure, bet you can't!

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

c2c Rail • September 27, 2011For Tower Hill Underground, you can use the exit in the centre of the platforms. Alternatively you can go to Aldgate station, by turning right and right again from Fenchurch Place (front) exit.

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

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!

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

Eve S. • October 11, 2011Best platform ofcourse ;)

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

Burnley D. • August 4, 2013Very nice platform,would prefer if the trains from here stop at platform 8 at Stratford.

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

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.

Jay G. • April 24, 2012The best platform here that's sat between platforms 4 and 6. Great positioning number 5! Use 4 or 7's barriers to avoid the crush when the train arrives on 5 ;0,

Matt C. • August 28, 2011Try getting on the train instead of sitting on the platform.

Ed W. • September 29, 2016It's the third platform along.

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

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!

Darren D. • July 1, 2013If you're not expecting comfort, cleanliness, punctuality or style then you're in for a real treat... Hold your nose as you walk up the platform!
