Where the name comes from
Named after Tottenham Court Road, the road to the Manor of Tottenham Court. In the 13th century the manor house belonged to William de Tottenhall; later leased to Elizabeth I, the manor came to be called Tottenham Court.
Worth knowing: The Northern line platforms opened in 1907 as Oxford Street; the station then one stop north was the one called Tottenham Court Road.
