Liverpool Street underground station is more likely several underground stations and this is because several go through here and having the rail station above, it is also a major junction for people to cross through and change transport links or routes.

This being said, just moving around the underground station to get from one to another can take a little bit of effort.

You may have to walk quite a while along sloping ramps, up escalators and even stairs and around bends and turns just to get to another station or just out to Liverpool Street rail station itself. This is not so bad unless you have a lot of luggage and it can be difficult if you have too many bags.

With four tube stations passing through Liverpool street station, it has to be this way almost but this also provides you with some help as well, for example, it’s just one stop to get to the Northern Line and you can take either the Circle or Hammersmith & City line, both running on the same track, so you don’t have to walk to different lines in this case, just pick a the first train that some along if its only for a few stops that are the same for a while down the line.

When problems occur though, the busy underground can get even busier and with so many people jostling and if you have luggage, this can be unpleasant.

There are plenty of exits into the rail station which takes you right on the platforms literally and there are staff on hand if you are not familiar with the station that can point you in the direction of the shops, ticket office, departure/arrivals board, bus stops and so on.
