The station was opened by the Central London Railway in 1900 as Post Office (the GPO head quarters being nearby). The station nowadays known as
Blackfriars was already known as St Paul's. When that station was renamed in 1937 then Post Office was given it's current name. The station was rebuilt in the 1930s, with an underground ticket hall and escalators. The main entrance was also moved to the east. The two lines are in tunnels are placed one above the other.
Nowadays a typically busy central London tube station. St Paul's is the closest station to the London Stock Exchange, the Old Bailey and of course the cathedral the station is named after! It is also close to
City Thameslink railway station, a tunnel linking the two stations has been considered in the past.
