Bond Street Station
The Bond Street station is a station of the London Underground and a future Elizabeth-Line -Bahnhof in the City of Westminster . The underground station complex is located in Fare Zone 1 on Oxford Street . In 2016, 39.53 million passengers used the station.
Building
In the underground station, the Central Line and the Jubilee Line cross on two levels . There are two entrances: one is in the West One shopping center at the intersection of Oxford Street and Davies Street, and the other is at the intersection of Oxford Street and Marylebone Lane. The well-known shopping street New Bond Street , after which the station is named, is about a hundred meters east of it.
history
The station was opened on September 24, 1900 by the Central London Railway (CLR), the predecessor of the Central Line. Trains have been on the tracks since July 30, 1900. Like all of the original CLR station buildings, Harry Bell Measures designed the one on Bond Street. In 1920 the new owner, the Underground Electric Railways Company of London , considered a joint venture with the nearby Selfridges department store . This would have required a fundamental renovation of the station and created a new entrance in the basement of the department store. However, the plans were downsized due to the high cost. Nevertheless, the station received a new underground counter hall as well as escalators , which replaced the previous elevators . Charles Holden redesigned the facade of the station building. The new systems went into operation on June 8, 1926.
In the course of the construction of the Jubilee Line, there was another redesign. The old station building was torn down and the system was integrated into the newly built West One department store . Individual elements of the original facade above the eastern entrance have been preserved. The Jubilee Line opened on May 1, 1979. Crossrail's construction of the Elizabeth Line required a massive increase in the capacity of the existing underground facilities. For this purpose, a second entrance was built on Marylebone Lane, which has been in operation since November 2017.
The work cost around £ 300 million and will also include two more ticket halls on Davies Street and Hanover Square, due to open in December 2019 along with the Elizabeth Line. The architects WSP and John McAslan + Partners were responsible for the design.
