Royal Oak is a station on the Hammersmith and City Line, between Westbourne Park and Paddington stations, and in Travelcard Zone 2.

The station opened 30 October 1871 although the Metropolitan Railway extension to Hammersmith had opened in 1864. A previous British Rail station called Royal Oak (the first stop after Paddington) was closed because the Hammersmith and City line provided an alternative service. It is close to the A40(M) out of London.
