Possibly the friendliest underground staff in London. Check out the counter guy, he looks like a 1920s strongman! Sorts your Oyster out no problem! Legend!
The left hand pavement on the west side is blocked of. Use the right hand pavement during the works.
First Capital Connect platforms get very crowded in the evening rush hour. Particularly when trains are running late (ie most of the time).

Unsa AkhtarJuly 28, 2010Walk along the road to Tinseltown and treat yourself to an original American burger and an Oreo milkshake to die for.
The 18.12 and 18.25 Brighton trains are surprisingly empty towards the end of the platform - worth the walk ;)
LondonistOctober 23, 2010One of the very first underground stations. Currently undergoing massive rebuilding works for Thameslink and Crossrail.
New in; ticket barriers are now active. Side gate is still operational during peak times.
Reopened side door is bloody amazing if you are going eastbound. Don't forget to touch in though!- Beware the tediously "off-script" announcer at this station who is very fond of the sound of his own amplified voice.
Turnmill Street side entrance only open 07:00 – 10:30 Mon-Fri
- David McDowellNovember 27, 2009Use the side exit during peak hours. It's not quite so busy and there are no barriers.
Julie MonNovember 25, 2012Eastbound underground services are on platform 1, westbound on platform 2!
Wear ear-plugs or noise-cancelling headphones because this station has overly loud and very annoying announcements.- D XGJuly 27, 2010The stupid First Capital Connect "Departures" board spends more time displaying (non-)service announcements than actual train times! USELESS!
- Beware the 'amusing' announcements. They are tedious.
Don't expect any First Capital Connect service to run on time. Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed.
Mike PearsonNovember 9, 2010Don't try to exit using an FCC "London Terminals" ticket, the LU staff will kill you, or worse.
Don't rub *anything* against the tracks. They don't like it.
Be prepared for First Capital Connect delays and shitty trains.
