About the station

What is around London Bridge

There is a lot more to London Bridge than the trains.

Busy station

Thameslink, Southern and Southeastern trains, plus the Northern and Jubilee lines.

Guy's Hospital

A short walk from the station, on St Thomas Street.

The Shard

Rises right next to the station.

Borough Market

Just west of the station, on Borough High Street.

Hospital appointments at Guy's

Guy's Hospital is a short walk from London Bridge station, and many people from Croydon travel there for appointments. A taxi can drop you close to the entrance, which matters if you are unwell, have mobility problems or are taking someone else. Book the outward journey and the return, and let the office know if the appointment runs late.

When a taxi makes more sense than the train

East Croydon and Norwood Junction both have direct trains to London Bridge, so for a quick solo trip the train is often the obvious choice. A taxi is better when you have luggage, when you are travelling as a family, or when you are catching a connection from London Bridge late at night. It also saves the walk to and from the station at the Croydon end, which helps if you live in Shirley, Sanderstead or Purley.

Meeting people off the train

London Bridge is a stop for trains from Kent, Sussex and Bedfordshire. If you have relatives arriving with luggage, book a car to collect them. Give us the train time, and if it is delayed, message us and we will change the pickup.

An evening out in SE1

The area has plenty of restaurants, bars and views from the Shard. Book a car there and back so the whole group gets home together, in a 6 seater taxi if there are more than four of you.

Onward travel

London Bridge is also a good starting point for heading east. If you are going to London City Airport, it is usually quicker to go direct from Croydon – see our Croydon to London City Airport taxi page. For the West End, see our Croydon to Charing Cross taxi page.

Station entrances at London Bridge

London Bridge has entrances on Tooley Street and St Thomas Street, as well as on the Borough High Street side. If you are being collected, tell the office which entrance you will come out of, and the driver will wait as close to it as possible. That saves walking around the station with your bags.
