Oxford Circus tube station, Underground railway station in City of Westminster, England.
Oxford Circus is an underground railway station at the junction of Regent Street and Oxford Street in London's West End. It connects three London Underground lines—Bakerloo, Central, and Victoria—each running at different depths beneath the intersection.
The Central Line opened here in 1900, followed by the Bakerloo Line in 1906, and finally the Victoria Line in 1969. Each expansion reflected growing transportation needs in central London over the decades.
The station's red terracotta tiling and curved glass roof designs reflect the Arts and Crafts movement that shaped its appearance. These decorative elements remain visible today as visitors move through the ticket halls and platform areas.
The station has entrances at all four corners of the intersection, making it easy to access from any surrounding street. Multiple escalators and level platforms help visitors navigate efficiently between the different lines.
A major reconstruction project between 2015 and 2020 transformed the station through construction of new escalators and ticket facilities beneath the intersection. This modernization significantly improved capacity and passenger flow at one of London's busiest interchange points.
