St. John's Wood (London Underground)
St. John's Wood is an underground station on the London Underground in the City of Westminster . It is in the Travelcard tariff zone 2, at the intersection of Wellington Road and Acacia Road. The station served by the Jubilee Line was used by 7.62 million passengers in 2014. Lord's Cricket Ground and Abbey Road Studios are nearby .
The station opened on November 20, 1939. After an additional, parallel tunnel had been built, the subway operations on the Stanmore branch were transferred from the Metropolitan Line to the Bakerloo Line in order to relieve the former and to accelerate it at the same time. St. John's Wood replaced two nearby stations that had opened in 1868, Lord’s and Marlborough Road . Originally the station should have been named Acacia . On May 1, 1979, operations were transferred from the Bakerloo Line to the newly opened Jubilee Line.
