Station History
The station was opened on July 3, 1871 by the Metropolitan District Railway (MDR) when the line was extended from Westminster to Blackfriars. The station became the new eastern end line that the MDR company served. After the intersection of the MDR with the Metropolitan Railway (MR) in South Kensigton, an inner ring was formed. On February 1, 1872, the MDR opened a branch north of Earls Curt, which connected it along West London Extension Joint Railway with Edison Road. Since then, the outer ring has consisted of paths belonging to the MDR. From August 1, 1872, the operation of the middle ring began, which ran from Murgate along the MR routes north of the inner ring to Peddington. Then, along the Hammersmith and City lines to Lateimer Road, then along the now dismantled line from West London to Edison Road and along the MDR to Manson House. On October 10, 1884, MDR and MR jointly opened Mark Lane Station (now closed), thus completing the inner ring. On June 30, 1900, the middle ring was torn between Yols Curt and Manson House. And on December 31, 1908 the outer ring was torn. In the 1920s, the station was redesigned by Charles Holden. A high glass screen appeared in the station with a metro symbol in the middle. In 1949, a ring line appeared.
October 29, 1989 the station was closed for restoration and for the construction of a new exit. Reopened for passengers February 11, 1991.
