London Bridge station is a major railway and London Underground station in Bermondsey in the London Borough of Southwark. It is immediately south-east of London Bridge and 1.6 miles (2.6 km) east of Charing Cross. It is the oldest railway terminus in London, opened in June 1839.[1] There is also a bus station. It is the fourth busiest rail terminal in London. In addition, it is where many commuters transfer between lines.
This mainline station is one of 18 railway stations managed by Network Rail and is a major transport terminus and interchange for south London. Including Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Gatwick Airport, over 54 million people each year use the station.
The tube station is a junction station between the two lines, the Jubilee Line and the Bank branch of the Northern Line. All tube platforms are accessed through the ticket barriers. The station is in Travelcard Zone 1. It is south of the River Thames, so it does not have a direct connection to the Circle Line.
