The station was one of the original Central London Railway stations which opened in 1900. The station entrance was in a different location and moved in 134s when the station was rebuilt with a new ticket hall and escalators down to platform level [1] (the original station being lifts or stairs only). The station was also renamed
Chancery Lane (Gray's Inn) at this time though the name was soon changed back.
To avoid running underneath surface buildings (and therefore incurring fees) the eastbound tunnel is located above the westbound one. Below the station was a deep level air raid shelter which post-war became the Kingsway telephone exchange.
