Default Ease of change at London Bridge

Does anyone have any ideas of what platform at London Bridge
Thameslink trains from King's Cross generally arrive at, and what
platform trains to Canterbury East depart from? Information on the
reverse direction would be appreciated too. I may be helping my mum
change there on Saturday, and she suffers from MS so I'd like to know
whether it would (luckily) be an easy cross-platform change, or
whether we'd be trekking from one side of the station to the other.


There are no trains from London Bridge to Canterbury East. Trains from
Charing Cross to Ramsgate, which stop at Canterbury West, run straight
through London Bridge without stopping for the greater part of the day.

Thameslink trains from the north use Platform 5 at London Bridge. Take a
Hastings train from the same platform (or sometimes Platform 4) to
Tonbridge, where you can change to a train for Canterbury West (same
platform at Tonbridge).
