Stay ahead of the game with our detailed guide on everything you need to know when travelling from Nottingham to London Victoria by train. We’ve got all the tips for navigating train stations, transfers and getting to your final destination.
Departing from Nottingham station
- Navigating the station: The station’s main entrance is on the Carrington Street overbridge, and all 7 platforms are located below street level. You can reach the platforms via stairs, escalators or lifts. There is also a centre footbridge, but bear in mind that access to this is restricted between 19:00 and 06:00 for safety reasons – during these hours, you’ll need to use the main station entrance.
- Finding your platform: Nottingham to London trains usually depart from Platform 7: a long side platform situated on the southern end of the station. Please check the departure boards to be certain of your platform though, as these can always change.
- Carriage zones: Platforms at Nottingham are long and usually split into zones (7a, 7b etc.). Intercity trains to London usually take up the full length of the platform, so these zones will normally help you find where to board your carriage.
Onboard trains from Nottingham to London Victoria

Transferring from London St Pancras to London Victoria

Follow the Underground ‘roundels’ and signs for Kings Cross St Pancras Underground Station. You can take the escalators or lifts into the Underground ticket hall, and follow the light blue signs for the Victoria Line (southbound).
- Tube journey: Once you’ve boarded, stay on for 5 stops to get to Victoria station.
