Bond Street tube station

Bond Street station stands in Mayfair, in the West End of London. It is an interchange for London Underground and Elizabeth line services, with entrances on Oxford Street near New Bond Street and on Hanover Square. The Underground station serves the Central and Jubilee lines, while the Elizabeth line runs between Paddington and Tottenham Court Road. The station lies in London fare zone 1. The station opened in 1900 as Davies Street, designed by Harry Bell Measures. In the 1920s and 1930s plans were considered to link it with Selfridges via a subway, but these were never built. Major changes came in 1926 when lifts were replaced by escalators and a new ticket hall was added, designed by Charles Holden. The Jubilee line arrived in 1979, bringing new entrances and a shopping arcade. In the 2010s the station was rebuilt for the Elizabeth line, adding lifts and a new entrance on Marylebone Lane. Visitors find two new Elizabeth line ticket halls at Davies Street and Hanover Square. The Hanover Square escalators are the longest on the Elizabeth line at 60 metres. The station also displays artwork by Tom Eckersley on the Jubilee line and Darren Almond on the Elizabeth line. The westbound Central line platform appears on the cover of The Jam’s single “Down in the Tube Station at Midnight.” Nearby are Claridge’s Hotel, the Handel House Museum and the Wallace Collection.
