List of former and unopened London Underground stations





The London Underground is a public rapid transit system in the United Kingdom that serves a large part of Greater London and the home counties of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It has many former stations, while others were planned but never formally opened for public use. Some stations were closed down due to low levels of passengers usage rendering them uneconomical; some became redundant after lines were re-routed or replacements were constructed; and others are no longer served by the Underground but remain open to National Rail main line services. Many stations were planned as parts of new lines or extensions to existing ones but were later abandoned.


Some closed station buildings are still standing, converted for other uses or abandoned, while others have been demolished and their sites redeveloped. A number of stations, while still open, have closed platforms or sections, such as the Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross. The interiors and platforms of a few closed stations are among parts of the London Underground available for filming purposes, such as those at Aldwych.[1]

Notes





  1. ^ Today's London Underground is an amalgamation of a number of separate railway companies that were brought together under the common ownership of the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB) in 1933. The current operator, Transport for London, is the latest successor of the LPTB.


  2. ^ In addition to the stations listed, which received parliamentary approval, there have been many unapproved proposals for new underground railways and unapproved alternative plans for underground railways already opened. The unapproved stations included in such proposals are too numerous to list.
