National Rail
The through platforms, 1-6, are on the north side of the station. Platforms 1-3 are served by trains starting and ending at Cannon Street. Services to and from Charing Cross use platforms 4-6 and a passing loop to the south of Platform 6. Platforms 5 & 6 are also served by First Capital Connect with its Thameslink Bedford to Brighton services via Luton, St Albans, St Pancras International, Farringdon, City Thameslink, Blackfriars and Gatwick Airport. Platform 6 is the busiest railway platform in Europe, due to the necessity of routing all trains heading to Charing Cross and Blackfriars through it. There is no Platform 7 as it closed in the major reconstruction of the 1970s.
The terminal platforms, 8-16, are on the south side of the station and are mostly served by Southern services to south London and the south coast.

“For this is the mark of a wise and upright man, not to rail against the gods in misfortune.”
