• The Platform Tip: Most Thameslink services to London Bridge depart from Platforms A and B from the lower-level Thameslink area at London St Pancras International railway station. These through platforms sit beneath the main concourse and can be reached by escalators and lifts. Platforms are not confirmed until shortly before boarding, so do check the departure boards before heading down.

Once on board your Thameslink train, the journey south through central London is quick, easy and mostly underground. In just a few minutes, your train will pass beneath some of the capital’s busiest districts before emerging again near the River Thames.

• The View Alert: Much of the route runs in tunnels beneath central London, but keep an eye out as the train approaches London Blackfriars railway station. Here, the line crosses the River Thames, offering a brief but striking view across the river.
• Key Landmarks: As the train crosses the River Thames at Blackfriars, look out for views of St Paul’s Cathedral on the north bank, as well as the Millennium Bridge and Tate Modern along the South Bank. The route then continues east for the short final run into London Bridge, where the towering Shard dominates the skyline.

The large, modern concourse sits beneath the platforms and connects to multiple exits, so choosing the right one will help you reach your destination faster.

• The Tooley Street Exit: Follow signs for Tooley Street if you’re heading towards the River Thames, The Shard, or the riverside walk towards Tower Bridge. This is also the easiest route for nearby restaurants, offices and the London Bridge City Pier for river bus services.
• The Borough High Street Exit: Use this exit for the historic streets of Southwark, including the famous Borough Market and Southwark Cathedral, both just a short walk away.
• Onward Travel: As well as taxi ranks right outside the station, London Bridge Station is well served by the London Underground via the Jubilee and Northern lines, while buses to Palmers Green and Friern Barnet depart from the nearby London Bridge bus station.
