    Londoners have expressed their outrage over ‘bizarre’ steps near a busy station, claiming the slanted stairway is the ‘worst in London’.

    Commuters and visitors making their way in and out of London Bridge station have taken to social media to express their dismay at the station’s impractical stairway.

    The peculiar slanted design has led to some passengers claiming the steps are ‘dodgy’, and mean that pedestrians have to focus more in order to exit and enter the station.

    Opened 187 years ago, in December 1836, London Bridge station is the oldest running railway terminus.

    According to Railway Data, 130,567 people use the station every day – which is a lot of people that also use the stairs.

    25-year-old Tom Cleaver is among those astounded by the stairwell.

    ‘Well, they’re facing the wrong way,’ he told Southwark News.

    ‘They are sort of slanted in a way which makes it a bit difficult.

    ‘Thankfully, nobody has quite stacked it yet, but that’s because most people seem to be quite focused on the job.’

    The steps gathered a lot of attention after a post on X shaming the architectural choices went viral.

    Amassing almost a million views, the post shared by Fareed read: ‘This diagonal staircase at London Bridge is the worst staircase in London.

    ‘Feel free to chime in if you feel differently but I’m pretty confident.’

    Solicitor Neil Clayton, who uses the steps twice a week, has heard of colleagues tumbling down the staircase.

    ‘It’s just not very well designed,’ he said.

    ‘It looks lovely, doesn’t it? But stuff can look lovely but be dangerous.’
