The station was opened by the Central London Railway in 1900. The Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway arrived next in 1907 though somewhat confusingly they called the station
Oxford Circus (and Goodge Street was originally known as Tottenham Court Road!) The names were changed in 1908 when an interchange between the CLR and CCEHR stations was opened. Tottenham Court Road was rebuilt in the mid-1920s with a new sub-surface ticket hall and escalators replacing the original lifts.
