London Underground station

Oxford Circus is a London Underground station serving Oxford Circus at the junction of Regent Street and Oxford Street, with entrances on all four corners of the intersection. The station is an interchange between three lines: Bakerloo, Central and Victoria. As of , it was the fourth busiest station on the London Underground. The bill planned an underground route between Shepherd's Bush and Cornhill (now Bank station). These plans were accepted by both Houses of Parliament on 5 August 1891. The CLR employed the engineers James Henry Greathead, Sir John Fowler, and Sir Benjamin Baker to design the railway. Tunnelling was completed by the end of 1898 and the official opening of the CLR (now the Central line) by the Prince of Wales took place on 27 June 1900; it was opened to the public on 30 July. Oxford Circus station opened as part of the first section of the line, between Shepherd's Bush and Bank. The railway was planned to run entirely underground from Marylebone to Elephant & Castle via Baker Street and Waterloo. Construction commenced in August 1898 under the direction of Sir Benjamin Baker, W. R. Galbraith and R. F. Church. The works were carried out by Perry & Company of Tregedar Works, Bow.

A proposal for a new underground railway running from Victoria to Walthamstow was first proposed by a Working Party set up by the British Transport Commission in 1948, though that largely followed a 1946 plan for an East Croydon to Finsbury Park line. refn|These plans include "Route 8 – South to North link from East Croydon to Finsbury Park", a main line service running between Norbury and Hornsey in tunnel, Several feasibility studies were carried out to form a combined route, "Route C" running between Walthamstow and Victoria via Oxford Circus. The Victoria line platforms opened on 7 March 1969. On 23 November 1984, during renovation works, the station suffered a severe fire which burned out the northbound Victoria line platform. On 3 March 1997, a train derailment caused the northbound Bakerloo line service between Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus to be suspended for 12 days. A number of people were treated for smoke inhalation after the fire broke out. On 24 November 2017, a fight between passengers on the westbound Central line platform caused a mass panic and stampede that led to 16 injuries.

In 2011, Australian winemaker Oxford Landing was in talks to 'rename' the station after its product, by changing the name on all signage; the deal eventually broke down due to intellectual property concerns over the London Underground logo, although TfL claimed the talks were only ever "informal".

The CLR and BSWR had separate surface buildings and lift shafts. The station buildings, which remain today as exits from the station, removing the murals installed on the Central and Bakerloo line platforms in the 1980s and replacing them with plain white tiles, The Central line platform works were substantially complete and a new Station Operations Room at top level opened. Oxford Circus station has 14 escalators. Major escalator refurbishment took place in 2010–11. Platform humps were also installed at the station to provide level access from the platforms onto the trains.#tag:ref|This project was in accordance with the Rail Vehicle Accessibility (Non Interoperable Rail System) Regulations 2010 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
