Transport for London - Weekend travel information

 

London Bridge, the UK’s fourth busiest station has undergone a total transformation to become a station fit for the 21st century.

The new London Bridge station was designed with more space and easier connections to other rail services and the Underground, to handle the expected passenger growth into the future. The new spacious street-level concourse enables passengers to access all the platforms from one place. New entrances and exits provide better routes to and from the station
