Holborn tramway station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remains of station (April 2004).

Holborn tramway station (not to be confused with Holborn tube station) was a tram stop underneath Kingsway (a road in central London), part of the Kingsway tramway subway route. When opened it was named Great Queen Street.

Services from Angel Islington to Aldwych commenced on 24 February 1906 and through services on 10 April 1908 from Highbury station to Tower Bridge and from Highbury station to Kennington Gate.

The station closed just after 12:30am on 6 April 1952. Much of the station remains in the disused tunnel but there is no public access. As of 2004 it was expected that redevelopment work in the remaining tunnel would probably obliterate what remains exist.
