London Underground network called Strand station, both sites are located close to Strand.* The first was on the
Piccadilly Line and opened as "Strand" in 1907. It was renamed Aldwych station in 1915. Aldwych tube station was closed in 1994 but the surface building can still be prominently seen.
* The second station was on theNorthern Line . It opened as Charing Cross station in 1907 before being renamed as "Strand" in 1915. The station was closed between 1973 and 1979 when it reopened as a combined station with the formerTrafalgar Square station on theBakerloo Line and the new terminus platforms for theJubilee Line (the latter of which has since been rerouted away from the station) on1 May 1979 . From the reopening the combined station was called "Charing Cross".The station previously called Charing Cross had earlier been renamed Embankment to allow this to happen. "See:
