About Tottenham Court Road

Tottenham Court Road serves three major lines including the Elizabeth Line in a dramatically enlarged station complex completed in 2017. It stands at the boundary of Soho and Bloomsbury, offering rapid access to the West End, the British Museum and the creative quarter around Fitzrovia. The station is decorated with Eduardo Paolozzi's vivid mosaic tiles - a celebrated example of public art in the Underground.
