Aldwych tramway station

Aldwych tramway station

Aldwych tramway station (not to be confused with Aldwych tube station) was a tram stop underneath Kingsway (a road in central London), part of the Kingsway tramway subway.

Services from Angel Islington to Aldwych commenced on 24 February 1906, and through services on 10 April 1908 from Highbury & Islington station to Tower Bridge and Kennington Gate.

The station closed on 6 April 1952.

The Strand Underpass, opened in 1964, rises at its north end through the former location of the Aldwych tramway station but no sign of the former station is visible on the surface or from the road tunnel.
