Wanstead tube station

Wanstead tube station

Wanstead tube station is a London Underground station in Wanstead, on the Hainault loop of the Central Line. It is in Zone 4.

Construction of the station had started in the 1930s, but was delayed by the onset of World War 2. Wanstead was not opened until December 14, 1947. The station buildings, located opposite The Green, were designed by architect Charles Holden, like many other stations on the branch.

The station is being extensively refurbished in 2006/7 with the original platform wall tiling, that had become badly damaged, being replaced. However some of the circular passenger information/alarm terminals were still covered up as of early September 2008.
