Chancery Lane tube station

Chancery Lane is a London Underground station in central London. It is only open Monday to Saturdays, as it is very close to neighbouring stations. It is on the Central Line between St. Paul's, and Holborn, and is in zone 1.

The station was opened on July 30, 1900 with its current name, but from June 25, 1934 was known for a brief while was known as Chancery Lane (Grays Inn).

It is one of eight London Underground stations which has a deep-level air-raid shelter underneath it. After World War 2 this was turned into Kingsway telephone exchange.

On January 25th, 2003, a Central Line train derailed at Chancery Lane, injuring 32 passengers, after a motor became detached from the train. The entire line was closed whilst the cause of the failure was determined and appropriate modifications made to the trains.
