Buckhurst Hill Tube Station

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Buckhurst Hill is a London Underground station, just outside of London, in the Epping Forest district of Essex. It is served by the Central Line and is between Woodford and Loughton. The station opened on 22 August 1856 as part of the Eastern Counties Railway branch from London to Loughton. It originally had staggered platforms, with the main buildings on the down side (tracks heading away from London). The 1856 station house survives to the south of the present platforms, but most of the present station dates from 1892, when the entrance was moved to Victoria Road. The building is similar to that at Billericay. By this date the station formed part of the Great Eastern Railway which was, from 1923, to become part of the London & North Eastern Railway.
