Redbridge (London Underground)
Redbridge is an underground station of the London Underground in the London Borough of Redbridge . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 4 at the intersection of Eastern Avenue ( A12 ) and the feeder to the M11 motorway . In 2014, 2.91 million passengers used this station served by the Central Line .
Construction work on the station began in the late 1930s, but had to be interrupted because of the Second World War. The already completed tunnel between Leytonstone and Newbury Park served for several years as an underground factory for aircraft parts of the Plessey group; a freight railway with a gauge of 457 mm connected the individual departments with one another. After the end of the war, the production facilities were removed and construction of the underground line continued.
The station with the entrance building designed by Charles Holden opened on December 14, 1947. It lies just 5.2 meters below the surface, making it the least deep underground station of the tube railway type. It has been a listed building ( Grade II ) since 2011 .
