The coffee inside the station sucks, so come out of the front and head to the right... 40 paces and you'll find Taylor Street Baristas - amazing and real espressocoffee and cakes.
Platform 1-2 used by South Western Railway for London Waterloo and Reading trains. Platforms 3-7 used by TfL: 3-4 usually 🟧London Overground towards Stratford, 5-7 London Underground 🟩District Line
When leaving on the District Line in the morning rush hour(s) the first train to go is always the one most full, which is often not the one on the tannoy announcements or display board.
Do not tap out on a pink Oyster card validator. It does not act as a signal to end your journey. You have to use the yellow pads at the exit. A bit of a scam.
There is NO oyster card top up machine at the station. So if u want to avoid waiting for hours to get ur card topped up at the cashier, i suggest you plan a bit earlier than usual :-)
