James Bourchier Metro Station (Bulgarian: Метростанция „Джеймс Баучер“) is a station on the Sofia Metro in Bulgaria, named after James David Bourchier. It was put into operation on August 31, 2012. Bulgaria's PM Boyko Borisov and the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso inaugurated the new section of the Sofia Metro, which was massively funded with EU money. [1][2] The initial project name of the Metro Station was Lozenets named after the neighbourhood Lozenets.

A park-and-ride underground facility with 650 parking lots was built along with the construction of the James Bourchier Station.[3]
