The station is in the southeast corner of the junction between Fenchurch Street (east/west) and Fenchurch Place (south).
Fenchurch Place leads south, past the station building before turning west along the south side of a pedestrianised square. London Street leads south from Fenchurch Street along the west side of the square before turning west and becoming the continuation of Fenchurch Place. The southward portion of London Street is pedestrianised. Traffic along Fenchurch Place is one way, south then west.
The station building extends east from here, at a higher level, to cross Crutched Friars (east/west) and Coopers Row (north/south).
Note that Coopers Row leads south, via Trinity Square, towards Tower Hill Station.
The station has two entrances/exits, the main entrance off Fenchurch Place and the Tower Entrance from Coopers Row.
You leave Fenchurch Place facing east into the lower concourse, from here there is lift, escalator and stairs access to the upper concourse at platform level.
You enter the tower concourse facing north, you go up three steps, going north, from street level. From here, there is stairs-only access to the platforms. This is the easier entrance to find from Tower Hill and Tower Gateway stations.
