City Road, a closed Tube station
Northern
Where the name comes from
Named after City Road, on which it stood between Old Street and Angel.
Worth knowing: Its closure was discussed as early as 1908, less than seven years after it opened.
City Road, 1901–1922
Between Angel and Old Street on the Northern line. Too few people used it, and it closed on 8 August 1922. Most of it was demolished in the 1960s, but its lift shaft was kept to ventilate the tunnels. That shaft is now doing something new.
