Train to London Bridge and then bus (48 or 149) from LB to Liverpool Street station. The bus normally takes between 15 and 20 minutes depending on traffic and time of day.


Edited to add: obviously it depends where in ED you're starting from. 5imon's routes are both good alternatives, although the 40 might take longer than that in rush hour?

40 Bus goes to Aldgate, not Liverpool St. Aldgate is 7 min walk from LS.


Train to LB then either:

149, 42 or 35 bus to LS or walk up to LS


If you're getting the bus, it may be quicker to walk to South side of London Bridge itself and wait for your bus at the bus stop just before the river (outside Barrow Boy and Banker bar). The buses (ie. 149) leaving LB station get caught in shocking traffic trying to navigate the junction out to the bridge, esp in rush hour.

But Journey Planner only tells you the theoretical times. WE are getting real experiences here. Also Journey planner can come up with some very strange routes and isn't aware of how close some Underground Stations are to Over Ground Stations.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
