Baker Street

Baker Street is one of the most complicated Tube stations on the network. With two facing platforms (at cut and cover level) for Circle and Hammersmith & City Line trains. There are four platforms in the open for Metropolitan Line trains - two through lines, two which terminate. There are then four deep level Tube line platforms for Jubilee and Bakerloo line services.

Baker Street is located in Zone 1 on the Tube Map and is between Great Portland Street and Finchley Road if you are on the Metropolitan Line. The station opened as part of the very first underground railway, opening in January 1863.

On the Hammersmith and City/Circle line platforms, there is a historical display in the arches. of the wall with photographs of what the station used to look like when it was first opened. On the deep level Tube lines, tile work pays homage to the fictional Sherlock Holmes character.
