Station History

Although the East London Railway had constructed their line through the area in 1869, no station was provided at Canada Water due to its location in the Albion Dock. Indeed, the area was only considered for a station in the London Underground proposal for the Fleet Line extension to Thamesmead in the 1970s which never materialised.

The continual evolution of the Underground network saw proposals for an extension of the Jubilee Line to Stratford via Docklands made in the 1980s, with approval for the extension finally being given in 1990.

Construction of the extension began in 1993, however Canada Water Station began construction two years later. The station is built as two ‘station boxes’ with one at deep level for the Jubilee Line and a separate box built at right angles above for the East London Line. The construction of the new box required the East London Line to be moved from itsd existing alignment to serve the new station.

Canada Water station opened for traffic on 19 August 1999 for East London Line services, with the second stage of the Jubilee Line extension from North Greenwich to Bermondsey opening in September of that year.

With the desire to convert the East London Line as part of the new London Overground network, it was closed in its entirety on 22nd December 2007, although Canada Water remained open for the Jubilee Line.

Following the conversion, the East London Line reopened as part of London Overground on 23rd May 2010 with services between Dalston Junction and Crystal Palace, New Cross and West Croydon.

The second phase of the new line, providing services to Clapham Junction was opened on 9th December 2012.
