Aldwych tube station

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Aldwych is a closed London Underground station in the City of Westminster, originally opened as Strand in 1907.

It was the terminus and only station on the short Piccadilly line branch from Holborn that was a relic of the merger of two railway schemes.

The disused station building is close to the junction of Strand and Surrey Street.

During its lifetime, the branch was the subject of a number of unrealised extension proposals that would have seen the tunnels through the station extended southwards, usually to Waterloo.
