One of London's busiest commuter stations at the heart of financial London. Regular trains depart Liverpool Street for destinations in Essex and East Anglia. The Stansted Express leaves every 15 minutes for Stansted airport and takes about 45 minutes. Off peak the Express runs twice an hour, and is replaced by a bus service during the night. The Underground station connects to the Hammersmith and City, Circle, Metropolitan and Central lines.
This bustling station is situated right on the north-east limits of the historic City of London. Nearby there are plenty of impressive buildings shooting up into the sky including Tower 42 and the Swiss Re Gherkin. To the north are the bars and clubs of Shoreditch and Old Street whilst eastwards lie Spitalfields Market and Brick Lane, the 'Curry Mile'.
