Hello,

Wondering whether anyone who uses the station could advise me. I will be travelling there from Canary Wharf tomorrow around 12pm on the Jubilee line to exit the station only (i.e. no onward travel). Will the overcrowding affect me/even exist at that time? I don't want to waste my precious lunch hour trying to get out of the station!

Thanks,
Phil

If you head for the borough high street exit from the jubilee line you should avoid any hilarity as it's a little way from the main overground station exit. Can't imagine it will be mad at that time of day.

That's the way I would be heading and thought it should be OK. Thanks for the info. smile

Shouldn't take you more than 10/15mins from CW to London Bridge (outside of the station). Only 3 stops!

It's 15 mins desk to door usually - it was the hellish bedlam and "much wailing and gnashing of teeth" that I've been reading about that got me curious!

You could always go to Monument or Bank and just walk over the bridge

Agreed, DLR to Bank would work, but Jubilee shouldn't be that bad then. Worst case you could Boris bike it along the superhighway. It's a lovely tourist cycle in nice weather

Not sure about the tube but the platforms are less crouded than usual as Charring Cross trains are not stopping at London Bridge.
