- B LApril 3, 2015Nearest station to the Natural History Museum. If you do not like crowds then drop by the science museum or the V&A museum. All next to each other.
Jonathan PayneAugust 5, 2018Lots of good coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, pubs, residential homes up-scale hotels within walking distance of this station.
Holly BassettAugust 23, 2014If you're by South Kensington then go check out the Sensational Butterflies. It's an awesome set up with butterflies EVERYWHERE. Stay still and they might even land on you.Upvoted Feb 26
Alight here for the Science Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Royal Albert Hall & Natural History Museum (Credit taken from TfL's Cultural underground line maps)
Barbara CrowtherJune 24, 2011Great subways from the station ticket area lead to all the major museums. great for avoiding traffic and especially on rainy days!
Jennifer KimJanuary 22, 2011If your waiting for a district line train. Get on the first one and get to Earls court and wait there. It's freezing here.
Paweł CzerwonkaMay 6, 2013You won't get a full refund for your Oyster there. Try going to Victoria or Oxford Circus.
Alex CurielDecember 19, 2018The station for the museums! It’s quite a long walk though to reach them!
Will FaichneyApril 24, 2012Yes, change here not at gloucester road for trains towards paddington, as gloucester road is the wrong platform when you get there. The maps are surprisingly correct!
Info screens on District.Circle Lines platform towards the east end of platform are quite helpful.
Emil AtanasovJune 26, 2013Love the detailed info screens on the platforms showing the actual locations of the trains in both directions
Avoid mid mornings as its full of school parties and tourists going to the museums
Muriel's kitchen for awesome Brit food. Right outside the station.
Sam HughesJune 18, 2011If you are into literature or beauty visit bookthrift just around the corner, unusual collection nicely priced.
Charlie StokesJuly 17, 2010Completely mental during the day due to the schools and museum trips. Bloody tourists.
ThuraZ MgMarch 6, 2011Sunday morning is fine and quite... although daytime could be packed with tourists and students..- Rarely worth getting on the Picc line here unless you have to... Walk to Gloucester Rd!
Just your average station but Sunday evenings at 6 after museums close are hectic- Matthew BennettNovember 7, 2013A very, very busy station on different levels with the escalator that takes you into the very bowels and depths of hell itself.
Kelsey HayesNovember 4, 2010Avoid if possible unless you're going to the museums. Extremely packed with kids/tourists during the day.
Rubo StarsJanuary 18, 2013Bloody sharp bends on the Piccadilly tracks eastbound right after leaving this station. Trains make terrible noises when leaving, what the hell???
Bia KepplerSeptember 1, 2011If you intend to be in London more than 1 week, to tube transport buy a week oyster card. £ 27,00. You have to use it where you see the yellow simbol when you arrive AND when you exit the tube.
Alerrandro CorreaJune 4, 2015A estação tem ligação subterrânea com os museus próximos, o que é bem prático para o clima londrino. A entrada para o V&A é a terceira saída.- Molotov CupcakeDecember 17, 2019Schöne Station: Typische Merkmale sind die blutroten glasierten Terrakotta-Ziegel, große halbrunde Fenster im oberen Stockwerk und gezahnte Gesimse
