Take your pick from any suburban London station tbh. I’d say South Bermondsey is the worst.
(Well, the worst now that Angel Road has shut, anyway).
I am local to South Bermondsey at my london home, and I definitely can agree on this!
It’s very bleak and run-down, particularly the surroundings.
Lack of step-free access and sometimes its felt like the stairs when coming down from the platform wants to fall apart
Walking up that hill towards the station can feel like the biggest sucker punch, especially when you see your train stopping and you still haven’t made it halfway up the hill
The path towards the station used to be worse, it was much more narrow and lacked the cycleway that’s present today. Felt like going through somewhere from a horror movie haha. When you factor in matchdays at Millwall’s ground, it can be torture, even today.
There are actually a few things I like although:
1. Despite its location, the views are actually really nice in some spots (especially at nights!), and you can see trains passing by opposite around the Bermondsey dive-under.
2. I have multiple ways to get to London Bridge from my local area, but I find going to South Bermondsey to be the most straightforward! Literally 5 minutes on the train and I’m there, it’s a pretty useful connection and the frequency isn’t that bad for what its worth.
3. It’s so bad yet so good at the same time, because where it has many issues, it’s good enough for me to be useful. It definitely does need much more improvements, regardless!
Sorry for going on a bit, figured I’d share my thoughts, and I’m not surprised this station’s been mentioned here!
