Edgware Road tube station, London Underground station - Circle, District and Hammersmith & City lines
Edgware Road tube station is a London Underground station in Westminster serving two separate lines. The station features two distinct entrance pavilions, one for each line, allowing passengers to interchange between the Circle and District lines.
The Circle Line reached this location in 1863, making this section one of the oldest parts of the London Underground network. The District Line was added later in 1868, completing the station's dual-line configuration.
The two lines have separate street-level entrances, so travelers should know which line they need before heading to the correct access point. The platforms are located close to each other, making transfers between them straightforward and quick.
This station is one of the few in the London Underground network where two lines operate with completely separate entrance structures. The unusual arrangement resulted from the lines being built at different times as independent systems before later being connected.
