Tower Hill Underground Eastbound Platform

Tower Hill London Underground Station 2019
The eastbound platform at Tower Hill Underground Station, serving the District and Circle lines, curves gently beneath the City of London’s historic core. The tiled walls, layered advertising panels, and utilitarian ceiling panels reflect the practical design language of the post-war London Underground system. Located adjacent to Tower Gateway DLR and just steps from the Tower of London, this interchange is one of the busiest tourist-access stations in central London. Its narrow curvature and close tunnel clearances are characteristic of legacy sub-surface lines built in the 19th century—still forming the backbone of the modern network more than 150 years later.
