What is the most beautiful train station in London?
St Pancras International, London
St Pancras might not claim the prize for being the oldest or perhaps the busiest, but we'd argue it should take to the stage when it comes to the most beautiful: its red-brick gothic structure and intricate design will keep you impressed time and time again.

What are the four main train stations in London?
All stations in the London group are in London fare zone 1 and most are at the end of a railway line. This includes major national terminals such as Waterloo, Paddington, Euston and King's Cross, and local commuter terminals such as Cannon Street and Moorgate.
Chesham station is 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Charing Cross, making it the furthest London Underground station from central London. It is both the northernmost and westernmost station in the system.
The Northern line serves some of the busiest commuter routes on the Underground, joining the suburbs of north and south London to the West End and the City. It has its origins in two early Tube railways – the City & South London Railway (C&SLR) and the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway (CCE&HR).
A small number of Elizabeth line services - mostly at the start and end of the day - still terminate at Paddington and Liverpool Street National Rail stations instead of running directly into the Elizabeth line tunnels.
There has even been talk of TfL taking over more railway lines, officially making them a part of the Overground. So if you think the Tube map looks busy now, just wait until that happens! Is it a Tube line? Answer: No.
Liverpool Street: Named after Robert Jenkinson, the 2nd Earl of Liverpool, Tory Prime Minister from 1812 to 1827. Liverpool Street itself is tiny, of course, and it would make much more sense if the station was called Bishopsgate.
London Overground rail fares cost the same as Underground prices on Oyster, as the service also uses the TfL zone price range, making managing your travel costs much easier. Peak times on the Overground are also the same, with prices rising between 06:30 and 09:30 am, with a reduced cost thereafter.
As the Overground name implies, the majority of the network is above ground, and it mostly consists of railway lines that connect areas outside Central London, with a considerable portion of the network in Zone 2. The network also uses Euston in central London, the southern terminus of the Watford DC line.
The Waterloo and City Line was opened in 1898 and is just two miles long, making it the shortest line in the system. The line is served by two stations both of which are situated underground at deep level.
What is the deepest underground station in London?
14. The deepest station is Hampstead on the Northern line, which runs down to 58.5 metres. 15. In Central London the deepest station below street level is also the Northern line.
The Central line is a London Underground line that runs through central London, from Epping, Essex, in the north-east to Ealing Broadway and West Ruislip in west London. Printed in red on the Tube map, the line serves 49 stations over 46 miles (74 km), making it the longest line on the Underground.
London Bridge station was opened on 14 December 1836, making it the oldest London railway terminus that is still running. It was not the earliest station in the London metropolitan area, as the London and Greenwich Railway had opened stations at Spa Road (in Bermondsey) and Deptford on 8 February 1836.
Waterloo is Britain's largest and busiest station. London Waterloo has always been a place for important arrivals and departures, whether city commuters, holiday makers, Epsom race goers or armed forces.
The most expensive standard class route is the 0.21-mile link from Ty Glas in Cardiff to Birchgrove. The fare costs £2.60, which per mile would cost £12.24. The second spenniest is apparently London Blackfriars to City Thameslink which costs £3.70 – or £11.38 per mile.
What is Mail Rail? Located across the road from The Postal Museum, Mail Rail is a small train which runs underground. Initially designed to transport mail, Mail Rail reveals the story of the postal service's subterranean world beneath the streets of London.
