Charing Cross Underground Station — Bakerloo Line Terminus

Charing Cross Underground Station — Bakerloo Line Terminus

A Bakerloo Line train rests at Charing Cross Underground Station, beneath the heart of central London. Once a junction for both the Bakerloo and Jubilee lines, Charing Cross now functions as the southern terminus for Bakerloo services, connecting to the mainline station above. The photograph highlights the tunnel portal with its characteristic red tiles and the clean signage pointing toward the Northern line and the National Rail concourse. Opened in 1906 and expanded through the 1970s, the station remains an emblem of the Underground’s architectural layering—where Edwardian infrastructure meets modern transit demands.

A Bakerloo Line train pauses at Charing Cross Underground Station, one of the most historically layered stations in central London. Opened in 1906, Charing Cross became a key interchange point connecting the Bakerloo and Northern lines beneath the Strand. The photograph captures the distinctive orange-tiled tunnel portal and overhead “Way Out” signage leading toward the mainline station above. Once part of the Jubilee Line until 1999, this section now serves as a terminus for Bakerloo trains, blending Edwardian design elements with the operational systems of a 21st-century network.
