Bakerloo Line Southbound Tunnel at Charing Cross Station

Bakerloo Line Southbound Tunnel at Charing Cross Station
The southbound Bakerloo line platform at Charing Cross Underground Station in central London, showing the distinctive narrow tube tunnel built in the early 1900s. The red-edged lining around the tunnel mouth and the tiled passageway reflect classic London Transport design standards. Opened in 1906, the Bakerloo line was one of the early deep-level “tube” lines, and this station once served as its southern terminus before extensions carried it to Elephant & Castle. The signage and steep staircases illustrate the compact engineering that defined London’s early subterranean railways.
