Warren Street tube station, London Underground station
Warren Street is an underground station at the intersection of Tottenham Court Road and Euston Road in central London. It has four platforms serving the Northern and Victoria lines, connected by seven escalators that move passengers efficiently between street level and the underground.
The station opened in 1907 as Euston Road, designed by Leslie Green who created many early underground stations. In the 1930s, Charles Holden renovated it with new surfaces and escalators, and in the 1960s it was extensively rebuilt to accommodate the Victoria Line.
The station retains its original name Euston Road on tiles deep within its tunnels, a remnant from when it opened in 1907. It serves commuters, students, and hospital visitors daily, becoming a practical hub that shapes how people move through the Fitzrovia neighborhood.
The station sits in Zone 1 and has a ticket office and public toilets but no lifts or waiting areas. It helps to buy your ticket in advance, as the escalators can get crowded during peak times.
The station appeared in the 1972 film Death Line, which featured its Northern Line tunnels, and in 2012 became one of the first underground stations to offer free Wi-Fi at surface level. This blend of film history and modern convenience makes it a distinctive spot in London's network.
