St. Paul's tube station

St Paul's is a London Underground station in the City of London, near St Paul's Cathedral's north east corner. Visitors should note that the main entrance to the Cathedral is on the west side, a few minutes' walk from the station itself. The station is on the Central Line, between Bank and Chancery Lane, and is in zone 1.

The station was named Post Office when it opened on 30 July 1900 is it was very near the headquarters offfice in St Martin's le Grand, but changed its name on 1 February 1937.

The station should not be confused with City Thameslink station which opened in 1990 as "St Paul's Thameslink" but is some distance from the tube station. That station was subsequently renamed "City Thameslink" to avoid confusion for the emergency services but for years afterwards many maps and guidebooks in circulation still carried the earlier name.
