London Underground L Stock is a clerestory-roofed rail stock built for the Hammersmith and City Line in 1932 and subsequently absorbed into the London Underground Q Stock, being redesignated Q31 Stock.

Forty-five cars were built by the Union Construction Company, eight were driving motor cars and the rest were trailers.

The eight motor cars, numbered 700-714 (even numbers only), were initially owned by the London Midland and Scottish Railway.

The L stock was based on the 1927 K Stock.
