In and around that train station there’s everything you could need. I , personally like Liverpool Street, because you get there from everywhere and you easily get everywhere from there.
You're only a 4 minute walk to a great Fish and chips place. Poppies of Spitalfields.Traditional british 1940s style restaurant. They won an award for one of best fish and chips 2013

Mister GryphonSeptember 13, 2012If, like me, you are 6'3", weigh 17 stone and are built like a brick shithouse: stand still for twenty seconds looking at the board. Apparently, this makes you invisible to people running around. Wow!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Nice place where you can find many facilities available. Good to get an apartment near to this station that offers several options of food to take away or eat in the place, or even markets supply.Upvoted 1 day ago
Andrea LazzariniNovember 2, 2014Lot of shops/restaurants/coffee shops. So when you're waiting foe someone late, as I did, you can enjoy a good coffe, while browsing the internet using the free wi-fi
Great station to catch a tube or a train. You can get the Stansted express from here too! It does get pretty busy though!Upvoted Feb 27
Beata YoungAugust 17, 2014You never know what you will encounter, great to watch the crowd from upper floor Mista Dobalina style
Good luck getting uninterrupted music on your wireless headphones here. Now every man and his dog has wireless your music will regularly breakup as you walk through the concourse
Safe WebsitesApril 12, 2012My tip of the day is enure you get to the train station 25 minutes before it is due to arrive, this is to ensure you get there in plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings.Upvoted Feb 27- If you're hungry you should visit Poppies Fish and Chips restaurant in Hanbury street. Traditional british food in authentic 1950s surroundings. Best fresh fish. 5 mins walk through Spitalfield market
Andrew GoateAugust 31, 2014Fantastic station. Always kept clean and loads of choices for food and drink. Great pub just outside!Upvoted Feb 27

Tube entrances are not all open at the same times. Incredibly crowded and all the food prices are jacked up.Upvoted Mar 1
Mark BoultonSeptember 1, 2012One of my favourite London terminals,really nice modern station but still including the traditional roofUpvoted Feb 27
If you are with suitcases, get the Metropolitan line to here, then the lift on the left side almost hidden.Upvoted Feb 27
If you have a while to wait for your train, there is a quiet waiting room. Find it alongside platform 10. There are also cashpoint machines with small queues further on in this 'secret' area.Upvoted Feb 27
Love this part of london filled with great places to eat and drink
Best late night food here can be obtained from either Wasabi. Katsu Chicken Curry - superb.Upvoted Feb 27
LisetteFebruary 7, 2015many different exits so if you r going to meet someone here, you need to do your homework first.Upvoted Feb 27- Steve ButtonOctober 5, 2010national express are quite simply a tip top class company who care about their customers. their staff are polite and helpful and the trains are clean and modern. I love coming to London every fn day.
Kass YDecember 30, 2014If you've got time to kill, the breakfast club on artillery lane is worth checking out. In the evenings there's a secret bar below it
Margherita B.July 18, 2016Reasonably priced luggage deposit at platform 10. First 3 hours £6, from the 3rd hour till the 24h there's a flat rate of £12.50. They wouldn't let you check on your bag once given, so just make sure
The ticket office for mainline services will automatically sell you an expensive ticket. Laugh at the quoted price & ask for a cheaper one, it's amazing how many pounds drop off for the same ticket.
Learn your spots on the tube. I turn left when when going down to the underground, instead of right. It off the beaten path but saves a me 3-5 minutes walking the path.
HISTORY UKFebruary 15, 2011The station was built in 1874 on the site of the old Bethlem hospital for the mentally ill, which dated back to the 14th century and is the origin of the word ‘bedlam’.Upvoted Feb 27
Just outside WHSmith on the main concourse there a handy free water dispenser. Essential if you're about to jump on the tube in hot weather!
Colin MercerMarch 24, 2013Check out the great sculpture of the mostly Jewish 'Children of the Kindertransport' rescued by train from Eastern Europe at the beginning of WWII.

Dean WilsonNovember 13, 2013If you're hungry and waiting for your train, a generous serving of Sweet chilli chicken & rice at Wasabi is £4.95 well spent.

For incredible coffee, head to Taylor St. Baristas just across the road!
Make sure to go to Camden food Co go the best flatbreads & superfood salads for a snappy lunch! Don't forget the bitecard too :)
Travelling on Oyster PAYG? You've got 40 minutes from tapping out of the tube and in to a train platform and it'll count as one journey (20 min when going from train to tube). Time to go to the shops!
A decent train station with lots of shops if you want to buy food or drinks!
Matthew HemesAugust 11, 2014The departures board seems to have a mind of its own! Check it regularly!
Wasabi, Camden Food Company and M&S are the best places to get food. The Starbucks at the east-end has wood-panneled walls and sofas. The WH Smith next door is less busy and bigger than it's brother.
Rachel WallaceMarch 8, 2019Don't use the Pasty Shop for coffee. Regardless of what you ask for you just get flat white....
The trainline app live departures screen shows the platforms a few minutes before they display them on the boards, so get a lead on the crowds
Nathan WoodFebruary 9, 2011if you're drunk and using the station walk around shouting obscenities. it makes you invisible to other passengers and may even land you a seat or two to snooze on. lots of people do this here.- Station Exits - Exchange Square, (1) Bishopsgate West, (2) Bishopsgate East, (3) Old Broad Street, (4) Broadgate, (5) Sun Street
Münzevî AbOctober 30, 2013This spot is in particular where I would love to receive a proposal one day as it means so much to me. :)
Everything available here but you need to enough cash for it ;)
Rach WhitakerNovember 9, 2010Buy the Dark chocolate with caramelised salted macadamia from Thorntons. Long name but you don't have to say it, just buy and enjoy.

"Often seats available upstairs. Decor of room is amazing - once the ballroom of the Great Eastern hotel built by chap who was a freemason. Lots of rooms in attached hotel were freemason temple lodges."
