About Green Park station
Until 1933 this was Dover Street, named after the street where the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway opened it on 15 December 1906. Leslie Green’s building had the company’s red glazed terracotta and wide semi-circular arches, and four Otis lifts in two shafts took passengers down to platforms 27.4 metres below Piccadilly. Crowds were a problem early on, and in the 1930s the station was modernised: a new sub-surface ticket hall with escalators opened on 18 September 1933, reached from subway entrances on both sides of Piccadilly, including one on land taken from the park with a shelter by Charles Holden. The station became Green Park and the old building closed.
The Victoria line platforms opened on 7 March 1969, when Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the line by riding a train from here to Oxford Circus; their seat recesses carry Hans Unger’s tiled circles, a bird’s-eye view of the park’s trees. The Jubilee line, renamed from the Fleet line in 1977, opened on 1 May 1979 with platforms 31.1 metres down, the deepest of the three, tiled in deep red with black leaf patterns by June Fraser.
