Bishopsgate (Low Level) railway station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) on 4 November 1872[1] alongside the company's first London terminus, Bishopsgate, which stood on a viaduct. The newer station was on a lower route, leading south-west, which the GER was building to its new Liverpool Street terminus and was on Quaker Street, on the eastern side of Shoreditch High Street now in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets but then in the Metropolitan Borough of Bethnal Green.
In 1875 the high level station closed to passengers [2] and the low level station was renamed "Bishopsgate". The high level terminus, rebuilt as a goods station, reopened in 1881[2] as "Bishopsgate Goods Depot" with a subway linking it to the passenger station.
The station was closed on 22 May 1916[1] with other inner suburban stations on the GER line through the East End. Little is left of the station except two platforms visible from trains serving Liverpool Street.
