Liverpool Street Station

[Maydup]

I'm just checking my walking route for London.

Can anyone tell me if there is an entrance to Liverpool Street Station from the side streets to the North. Eg Appold Street or Pinder Street or do I need to walk all the way round to the front?

To enter Liverpool Street station from the north you need to be driving a train ;-)

From Appold Street/Pindar Street, walk along Primrose Street and turn right onto Bishopsgate. That will take you to the concourse entrance next to Hamilton Hall (which is rather grandiose Wetherspoon's pub at Liverpool Street). It's quicker that way than heading for the other end of the concourse (and if you're catching a Norwich train it will also take you closer to the platform that it leaves from).

Thanks Chris

Sorry to disagree but there is a walking route from Pindar Street, shown on Google maps as Sun Street Passage. It's not the pleasantest of walking routes but it does exist.

I thought that entrance (near Pret) had been closed off ages ago but perhaps that was only temporary and it's now open again.

It's certainly on the NRES website:

and on the map:

so it would save you a few yards, Maydup. However it brings you into the shopping area, beyond Platform 1, whereas the escalators from Bishopsgate bring you right by platforms 9 & 10 (which are the ones most frequently used by Norwich services), so there's not that much in it.

Thanks all. I am coming from City Road and thought about using Sun St so I might look for the side entance rather than walk all the way round to Bishopsgate. Or should I drop down to Broadgate Circle and in that way? It will be around 9pm, not late but dusk bupy then and I'd like to keep to a reasoably well lit route.

Bupy?! Typo for by.

Bishopsgate is well-lit and busy with people day and night. The other end is quieter but not 'threatening'.
