Redbridge tube station is a London Underground station in Redbridge, on the Hainault loop of the Central Line, in Zone 4. It is on the Eastern Avenue.
The station was opened on December 14, 1947. Construction had begun in the 1930s but was delayed by the onset of World War 2. During the war, the completed train tunnels at Redbridge were used by the Plessey company as an aircraft parts factory. The station building was designed by renowned Tube architect, Charles Holden, who also designed other stations on the same branch.
Snce the station was built, a large roundabout has been constructed next to it, being a junction with the A406 and M11.
Redbridge is the shallowest 'tube' (as opposed to cut and cover) station on the network; it is only 7.9m (26ft) beneath the surface.
The station is located at grid reference TQ418883.
