Description: | Oxford Circus became the site for stations of two of the early London railway companies. Both the Central London Railway (C.L.R, now the Central line) and the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway (B.S.&W.R, now the Bakerloo line) had stations there.
The building on the left is the C.L.R. station, the first one, built in 1900 originally as a single-storey building. On the right is the B.S.&W.R. station.
This photo was taken in 1927. By that time both companies were part of the Underground Group and the stations had been amalgamated. The distinctive UNDERGROUND sign is displayed on the front of both stations. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | 1927 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
