Information on London Liverpool Street Station



Standing in the North Eastern corner of the City of London is one of the busiest railway stations in the United Kingdom. Liverpool Street,  also known as London Liverpool Street is a major railway station terminus and Underground station, the third busiest in London after Waterloo and Victoria stations, and one of the seventeen managed by Network Rail.

Liverpool Street is the terminus for two main lines, the Great Eastern Main Line to Norwich and the West  Anglian Main Line to Cambridge, the station also serves commuter services to parts of North Eastern London, Essex, Hertfordshire and London Stansted Airport via the Stansted Express. There is also a daily express train service to the port of Harwich, known as the Dutchflyer, this connects with the ferry from Harwich to Hoek van Holland.

Liverpool Street station was designed by the Great Eastern Railway’s chief engineer Edward Wilson, and built by John Mowlem & Co on the original site of the Bethlem Royal Hospital, it opened in two parts, Western Side in 1874-75, with the Eastern Side in 1894. On 1 November 1875 the original terminus of the GER at Bishopsgate close to passenger traffic but reopened in 1881 as a goods station, but on 5 December 1964 it was destroyed in a fire. This former site is now being redeveloped as part of the extension of the London Underground’s East London Line and forming part of the London Overground network.

Between the opening dates the GER commissioned C.E and C.B.Barry to build a hotel in the space between the train shed and Liverpool Street proper, straddling the cab road. The Great Eastern Hotel was also built by John Mowlem & Co and duly opened in 1884, refurbished in the1889-1901 period that also added the Abercorn Rooms extension.
 
Liverpool Street station takes its name from the street on which it stands, which in turn is named in honour of British Prime Minister Lord Liverpool.

In May 1917 the station was the first place in London to be hit by Germany, taking a direct hit from a Gotha G.V heavy bomber used by the Luftstreitkrofte (Imperial German Air Service) during the First World War, and killing 162 people.  A bomb also landed in Bishopsgate during World War II shattering the glass roofing.

Liverpool Street got its first electric trains in 1949 although Henry Thornton had proposed a £55 million scheme to the board in 1919 to use electric traction, and in 1958 diesels ousted the exhilarating ‘Britannia’ ‘Pacifics’.

The station was extensively modified between 1985 and 1992, which included bringing all the platforms in the main shed up to the same end point and constructing  a new underground booking office, but its facade, Victorian cast iron pillars and the memorial for Great Eastern Railway employees who died in the Great War were retained. The redevelopment  coincided with the closure and demolition of the neighbouring Broad Street Station and the construction of the Broadgate development  in its place. The new station was officially opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II in 1991.

Liverpool Street also has an underground station on the London Underground network, namely Liverpool Street Tube Station it is the fifth busiest station with four lines passing through; three sub surface and one deep level, consisting of the Central Line, Circle Line, Metropolitan Line and the Hammersmith & City Lines.

The Great Eastern Hotel was extensively refurbished between 1997 and 1999 and re opening as a boutique hotel, with the hotel incorporating three restaurants: “Aurora” and “Fishmarket” cater to the higher price expense account business lunch market while “Terminus” is a mid range brasserie to service the City workers. Two pubs and a sushi bar are included in the complex.
A plaque on the concourse close to the main entrance to the Underground station marks the date of 1993 when London Liverpool Street station was twinned with Amsterdam Central station.
