Nottingham London Road High Level railway station was a station built by the Great Northern Railway in 1900 on the viaduct connecting its Grantham line to the new Victoria station built by the Great Central Railway. [British Railways Pre-Grouping Atlas and Gazatteer.]

Before Victoria station was built, GNR trains terminated at their own London Road station. The new connecting line diverged from the original line east of London Road station and ran adjacent to it but gaining height in order to connect with the GCR's line. A new station was built on the viaduct where the new line passed the old station, and was named London Road High Level. At the same time the original station was renamed London Road Low Level.

All GNR trains were diverted to Victoria, but the LNWR, which also used London Road station, continued to terminate at London Road Low Level until 1944 when they too were diverted to Victoria.
