Did you know?

Bond Street does not appear on the original plans for the Central London Railway, with its place between Oxford Circus and Marble Arch taken instead by a proposed Davies Street station.

Bond Street won out, however, and the station opened three months after the rest of the CLR in September 1900. From 2018, if things go to plan, it will also form part of Crossrail line 1.
