Tottenham Court Road Tube Station

Tottenham Court Road is a London Underground station in Central London. It is an interchange between the Central Line and the Charing Cross Branch of the Northern Line.

On the Central line it is between Oxford Circus and Holborn, and on the Northern line it is between Leicester Square and Goodge Street. It is located at St Giles Circus, the junction of Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Street, New Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road.

The station opened as part of the Central London Railway (CLR) on 30th July 1900. From that date until 24th September 1933 the next station eastbound on the Central line was the now inoperative British Museum station. The next stop in that direction is now Holborn tube station. The Tottenham Court Road Tube Station platforms are under Oxford Street, west of St Giles' Circus, and were originally connected to the ticket hall via lifts at the east end of the platforms. The original station building is in Oxford Street and was designed in common with other CLR stations by Harry Bell Measures. A great deal modified, it now constitutes part of the station entrance, and some components of the original facade exist above the canopy.
