About Holland Park station
Holland Park was one of the Central London Railway’s original stations, opening on 30 July 1900, and its building is typical of those designed by Harry Bell Measures for that railway. It was given a flat roof in the hope that commercial development would take place on top, as at Queensway, but so far none has. Before opening it had been proposed under the name Lansdown Road; it is named after Holland Park, a park in west London, a name that also covers the residential area north of the park.
The building was refurbished in the 1990s. On 28 July 1958 one passenger died as a result of a fire on a Central line train here, and in August 2013 smoke filled the station after a train’s brakes malfunctioned. The station closed for lift replacement and refurbishment on 2 January 2016, reopening in August of the same year; until then it had been the last deep-level station to keep its original 1950s signage.
