City Thameslink is a train station in central London . It is located on the western edge of the City of London in Travelcard tariff zone 1. In 2013 it was used by 5.541 million passengers.

The station was opened on May 29, 1990 under the name St Paul's Thameslink . At this point the Ludgate Circus station of the Fleet Line (now the Jubilee Line ) should have been built, but these plans were abandoned in the late 1970s. In 1991 the name was changed to City Thameslink to avoid confusion with the nearby St. Paul’s subway station .

City Thameslink replaced the nearby Holborn Viaduct terminus , which was closed on January 26, 1990. The station is located in the Snow Hill Tunnel , a little further north is the Snow Hill station, which was closed in 1916 . Access to the station is by escalators and elevators from neighboring Ludgate Hill (south end) and Holborn Viaduct (north end).

The station is served by trains operated by Govia Thameslink Railway , which operate on the Thameslink route. Southeastern trains also turn here during rush hour . The station is closed on Sundays.
