Station History

Baker Street Station was constructed as part of the World’s first Underground railway between Paddington and Farringdon by the Metropolitan Railway in 1860, opening three years later on 10th January 1863.

Five years later, the Metropolitan & St John’s Wood Railway opened a line constructed in tunnels from Baker Street to Swiss Cottage, with the Metropolitan Railway providing all services.

Following extensions in the late 1870s and early 1880s the M&SJWR duplicated their existing tunnel from the station before being absorbed into the Metropolitan Railway.

November 1891 saw the presentation of a bill to Parliament for the construction of the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway. The new line would run from Marylebone to Elephant and Castle and the bill was approved in 1900.

Construction commenced in August 1900 and the line saw its first trains in 1905, albeit only for test purposes, with the official opening between Waterloo and Lambeth North occurring on 10th March 1906.

Baker Street served as the temporary terminus for this line until 27th March 1907, when the rest of the line to Marylebone was opened.

In 1914, the Leslie Green-designed BS&WR station building was supplemented by a new concourse constructed under the Metropolitan Railway, allowing direct connections via escalators instead of the original lifts supplied at opening.

With the formation of the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933, the Metropolitan Railway and Baker Streeet & Waterloo Railway were amalgamated with other Underground Railway companies to form London Underground, with the lines becoming the Metropolitan and Bakerloo respectively.

Due to a bottleneck at Finchley Road created by the reduction of four tracks to two, the LPTB decided to extend the Bakerloo Line north from Baker Street as a branch line, taking over the existing Metropolitan Line stopping service from Finchley Road to Stanmore. Construction began in April 1936 and a new ticket hall adjacent to the existing facility was provided at the station before the new branch commenced service on 20th November 1939.

In the late 1960s, a proposal was made for the Bakerloo line branch to Stanmore to be included in a new line extending from Baker Street via Bond Street, Trafalgar Square and Cannon Street before heading to South London. The new ‘Fleet Line’ was approved as far as a new terminus at Charing Cross and construction commenced in early 1970.

A new northbound platform was constructed as part of the line at Baker Street and the now Jubilee Line opened along its entirety on 1st May 1979.

The station building, its sub-surface platforms and front retaining wall were granted Grade II Listed Status on 26th March 1987.

Station History

Gillespie Road Station was opened on their line from Finsbury Park to Hammersmith by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway on 15th December 1906.

The original station building was designed in his unique style by Leslie Green with red terracotta-clad buildings, in the same way as both Caledonian and Holloway Road Stations.

Following the end of the 1912-13 football season, Woolwich Arsenal FC moved from South of the river to a new stadium constructed opposite the station. As a result of the club’s presence, and their renaming to Arsenal, the club, its manager and supporters mounted a campaign to get the station name changed, with this becoming successful on 31st October 1932 when it was renamed Arsenal (Highbury Hill).

Also during the 1930s, the original station building was deemed too small for the demands placed on it during matchdays, so the original Leslie Green buildings were demolished and replaced with a wider, more modern design.

Upon the formation of the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933, the GNP&BR was amalgamated with other lines to form London Underground, with the station becoming part of the Piccadilly Line.

Early in 1960, the Highbury Hill suffix was dropped and the station became Arsenal, although the platform walls still bear the Gillespie Road name spelled out in tiles at either end.

Nothing of any note occurred at the station in the following decades until, in 2007, the station underwent a major restoration and upgrade. This work entailed the restoration of the station’s tilework, resurfacing of all the floors and platforms and the installation of improved CCTV and tannoy equipment.

Station History

Leslie Green designed Highgate Station was opened as one of their northern termini by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway on 22nd June 1907.

The station was upgraded in 1930 with the original lifts being replaced with escalators. Also at this time, the secondary entrance to the station was replaced with a Charles Holden design virtually identical to the one at Hammersmith.

Upon the formation of the London Passenger Transport Board, the CCE&HR became part of the London Underground, forming the Northern Line in 1933.

Under the new ownership the station was renamed Archway (Highgate) to better reflect its location on 11th June 1939, before the line was extended to East Finchley as part of the New Works Programme on the 3rd July of that year.

Two years later, the station was again renamed, this time to Highgate (Archway) on 19th January 1941 before reverting to Archway in December 1947.

Redevelopment of the area in the early 1960s saw the original station buildings at Archway demolished and replaced as part of the 17 storey Archway Tower office scheme in 1963.

Plans to make the station step free were implemented in 2007 but, although a Transport and Works Act order was granted, the project was subsequently shelved due to lack of funds.
