Trains to Greenwich - Station Details and further Information on Greenwich Train Services
Greenwich train station is about 400 m southwest of the town centre of Greenwich, London, England. It is an interchange between National Rail trains between central London and Dartford (north Kent), and the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) between Lewisham to the south and the Docklands area and the City of London north of the River Thames. It is in Travelcard Zones 2 and 3. Tickets including either zone are valid. Greenwich Station is 5½ miles from Charing Cross - the milepost is on platform 1. National Rail services are offered by Southeastern.
While Greenwich is the nearest National Rail station to the centre of Greenwich, Cutty Sark DLR station is more conveniently situated for the town centre, the National Maritime Museum, the former Greenwich Hospital (London), the covered market, and other tourist attractions.
East of the station, the Dartford line goes through a tunnel underneath the grounds of the National Maritime Museum, towards Maze Hill. Northwards, the DLR goes into a tunnel through Cutty Sark station and under the River Thames to emerge on the Isle of Dogs; in the opposite direction, it rises on a concrete viaduct to follow the River Ravensbourne upstream to Deptford Bridge and Lewisham. |
