As the Monopoly board will tell you, Liverpool Street is a big fish in London's transport network; the tube station is London's fifth busiest and the rail network operates to the South East.

There are no attractions as such, Liverpool Street is simply a very functional area to be in if you are travelling.

In 2009, the station was the venue for two rather spontaneous events, with 350 people performing a three minute dance for a T-Mobile advert and around 800 Michael Jackson fans gathering in tribute to the singer.

The Andaz Hotel enjoys the unique distinction of being situated right on top of the railway station.
