The station was opened in 1890 by the City & South London Railway as the Southern terminus of a line to
King William Street. This was the first deep level underground or tube line to be built. The line was continued South in 1900. The station was rebuilt in 1924 with a new surface building designed by Charles Holden. The original lifts were replaced by escalators. The original island platform was also replaced by separate tunnels for each platform, these new platforms are slightly to the South of the original.
