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 adjacent parts of the home counties of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It has many closed stations, while other stations were planned but never opened for public use. Some stations were closed down because a scarcity of passengers made them uneconomic; some became redundant after lines were re-routed or replacements were built; 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]

Former stations

The following stations were once served by a London Underground line or by one of the organisation's predecessor companies,[lower-alpha 1] but are no longer served. Many are permanently closed, but some continue to be served by National Rail main line train operators.

  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.
