Bromley-by-Bow is a London Underground station in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets . It is on the border of the Travelcard tariff zones 2 and 3. In 2014, 3.41 million passengers used the station.
It has two side platforms for trains on the District Line and the Hammersmith & City Line . However, the latter do not operate in the early morning, late evening and on Sundays. Two more platforms are on the parallel railway line that leads to southeast Essex , but are no longer served. In the BBC soap opera EastEnders , Bromley-by-Bow is replaced on the route network map by the fictional station Walford East .
On March 31, 1858, the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LT&SR) opened Bow station at this point . The District Line began operating on June 2, 1902. On that day, the Whitechapel and Bow Railway opened, a joint venture between the Metropolitan District Railway (as the District Line was then called) and LT&SR. The Metropolitan Line first served the station on March 30, 1936 (the branch line towards Barking was transferred to the Hammersmith & City Line in 1988). In 1962 the last train on the railway stopped. On May 18, 1967, the name was changed to Bromley-by-Bow to avoid confusion with Bromley in the London Borough of Bromley .
