Bellingham — Local services in London

Bellingham station is what happens when city planning gives up. I genuinely don’t know who’s rating this place 5 stars — probably people who enjoy being stranded in a forgotten corner of London. There’s no Southeastern service, just a sad little Thameslink that doesn’t even go to London Bridge. A London station… that skips London Bridge. Make it make sense.

Oh, and Sundays? Forget it. No trains. Not a single one. Just you, the pigeons, and your regrets. It’s 2025 and I’m still taking Ubers to Catford Bridge like it’s a normal solution. Spoiler: it’s not.

And to really top it all off, the place is surrounded by fly-tipped trash. Piles of it. Feels more like a dumping ground than a functioning station. Honestly, if you told me this station was part of a social experiment on commuter patience, I’d believe you.

Avoid if you value your time,...

So sad that I can't use this station due to no elevator or ramps. It is the only station local to me but It is essential I have the buggy for my Son and there are so many great places we could visit around London, or u could go to see family in other towns if only there were lifts or ramps here. Equally my elderly Nan in her wheelchair can't visit because of the station's lack...

Standard local station. Gets you to Blackfriars and the city. Blackfriars let's you walk down the Thames. It has a new waiting room which is mostly closed. All in all, standard station that is mostly self-service, its clean and well looked after. Missing a toilet, but this is common to a good many stations now.

No wheel...
