The station was opened in 1884 [1] by the Metropolitan Railway, completing the Inner Circle railway (nowadays the Circle Line). Services were operated by both the Metropolitan and District Railways. The Circle Line was formed in 1949.

There were plans to extend the Fleet/Jubilee Line through Cannon Street in the 1970s, however the Jubilee Line Extension later took a different route. The station was rebuilt in 2012 at the same time as the mainline station above.
An S Stock train prepares to depart, the train is slightly too long for the platform
