Is everyone here stupid or what? The yanks might have a bridge that used to span the Thames from Southwark to the City, but I can assure all these confused and deluded people that the thousands of people that daily pour out of London Bridge station do not swim to work in the city, they cross the Thames on a BRIDGE, a relatively new one called (funnily enough) London Bridge! There has been one there since Roman times, selling the old one to America doesn't mean that we have to do without.
Now, on with answer. Is it possible to vary your travel time a bit. You may find that a train a little earlier or later, or perhaps a slower train would be quieter. Next - always travel at the back of the train going into London, this is always quieter. Do you have to use the tube? Avoid if possible. There are a number of bus routes to London Bridge from all over the place. For instance the 17 from Kings Cross, 35, 47, 48, 149 from Liverpool St, 40 from Fenchurch Street. Or perhaps you could walk? Many journeys are surprisingly easy on foot, distances are often less than they appear. Best of luck.

Technically the bridge called "London Bridge" was sold to America. (haha they paid a fortune for it)
Anyway, I suffer badly from panic attacks and I have found the best solution is to buy an audio book (a story on CD) and listen to it while I travel. I keep some Doctor Who stories, some Dad's Army episodes and the BBC radio version of Lord of the Rings on my MP3 player. If I close my eyes I am not on the train - I am in the story so I don't panic! Try it - it can't hurt.

Oh my god according to Tucksie London Bridge is in America, Everyone knows we sold them the duff one and built a brand spanking new one in its place. Funny thing was that the Americans thought they were buying Tower Bridge.
Back to your question you can buy drops at the chemist that you put on your tongue that stop stress attacks and travel sickness cant remember what they are called but ask your pharmacist.

Yes, I have exactly the same problem, so I try to avoid the tube whenever possible. I certainly don't travel during the busiest times unless I absolutely have to, and then I get sick, dizzy and panicky. Can't give you much advice I'm afraid because it's still a problem for me, but I can tell you that I completely understand how you feel!

You'll have a job on, London Bridge is in America now, perhaps you are getting sea sick on the way over there. Try flying.

Given that London Bridge is now at Lake Havasu in Arizona in the US, I doubt that the tube is going to get you there.
Yeah, we paid a packet for it, but we've got our investment back many times over, thanks.
