Live departures from Bond Street

Bond Street is the West End's most useful shopping station and one of the few in the area with full step-free access. Since the Elizabeth line opened here in 2022, it has become a genuine cross-London interchange as well as the closest stop to Selfridges, Bond Street's luxury boutiques and the western end of Oxford Street. Where Oxford Circus is stairs-only and often crowded, Bond Street offers lifts to every platform — worth remembering if you are travelling with luggage, a buggy or step-free needs.

If Bond Street is closed

• Heading east on the Central? Walk 6 minutes east on Oxford Street to Oxford Circus (Bakerloo, Central, Victoria).
• Need the Elizabeth line? Paddington (west) and Tottenham Court Road (east) are the neighbouring Elizabeth line stops.
• Heading on the Jubilee? Green Park is one stop south-east and is also step-free.
• Shopping on Oxford Street? Tottenham Court Road covers the eastern end and is step-free too.

About the station

Bond Street sits directly beneath Oxford Street at its western, Mayfair end — the smart end, with Selfridges on the north side and the entrance to the luxury shops of New and Old Bond Street just to the south. The original station serves the Central line (from 1900) and the Jubilee line (from 1979); a major upgrade completed in 2017 added lifts, a second entrance and step-free access throughout.

The 2022 arrival of the Elizabeth line transformed the station. Its platforms sit in a large new box below the original station, reached from two ticket halls — the rebuilt Oxford Street hall by Selfridges and a second hall at Hanover Square / Davies Street. The interchange makes Bond Street one of the quickest ways to cross London east–west while landing right in the middle of the West End.

Step-free access — yes

Bond Street has step-free access from street to platform on all three lines — Central, Jubilee and Elizabeth — via lifts from both ticket halls. On the Elizabeth line the platforms are level with the train, giving step-free access from street to carriage. This makes Bond Street the best step-free choice for the western half of Oxford Street.

A bit of history

The Central line platforms opened on 24 September 1900 with the original Central London Railway. For its first eight decades Bond Street was a single-line station; the Jubilee line arrived on 1 May 1979 when the line opened, taking over what had been the Bakerloo's Stanmore branch. The cramped 1970s layout was notoriously congested until the 2013–2017 upgrade doubled capacity and added step-free access. The Elizabeth line platforms, in a deep new station box, opened to through services in 2022 — the last major central London piece of the Crossrail project to come fully into use.

Common quirks

• It is the step-free Oxford Circus alternative. If you need lifts anywhere near the middle of Oxford Street, come here rather than Oxford Circus, which has none.
• Two ticket halls, far apart. The Oxford Street and Hanover Square entrances are a few minutes' walk apart underground — pick the right one for your destination before you tap in.
• The Elizabeth line platforms are a long way down. Allow a couple of extra minutes to interchange between the Elizabeth line and the Central or Jubilee.
• Peak shopping Saturdays are busy but rarely closed. Unlike Oxford Circus, Bond Street's newer, higher-capacity halls usually keep flowing even during sales.
