Lansdowne is a station on the Bloor-Danforth line of the subway system in Toronto, Canada. It is located at 1287 Bloor Street West at Lansdowne Avenue, on the edge of Bloordale Village.

Opened in 1966, the station lies approximately 561 metres (1,842 feet) from its nearest station to the west, Dundas West. [ [http://transit.toronto.on.ca/subway/5104.shtml Transit Toronto - Content: A History of Subways on Bloor and Queen Streets ] ]

The station is considered to require "special attention" from the Toronto Police vice squad, due to the prevalence of drug dealers, prostitutes and other offenders in the area, especially at the Coffee Time diner across the street.
