London Underground station codes

A (hopefully) comprehensive listing

Last update 24 April 2025

Additional information is always gratefully received, whether entirely new records (particularly historical records) or information to fill in gaps or correct errors, via the contact link under the Miscellaneous entry in the navigation bar above. Thank you.

These codes used by London Transport to identify stations on its various systems. As with the National Rail codes, the systems were created by business units acting independently. As the codes are used in a wide range of information systems, many of which are externally owned, it is not practical to change them.

The 'live departure board' system has since been redesigned and no longer uses these codes. Some stations have had more than one code allocated and these are annotated here. It will be seen that the SAP/SSS, TSS and live departure board lists are very similar but occasional differences occur. Similarly, the London Underground published code and Track plate/GIS code lists, and the Track access code and Ellipse code lists, are almost, but not quite, always the same.

Of the 275 sites listed there are 42 for which all seven code systems are the same, thus:

Acton Town

Aldgate

Aldgate East

Amersham

Bayswater

Becontree

Bromley-By-Bow

Chiswick Park

Epping

Grange Hill

Ruislip Manor

St. James's Park

St. John's Wood

Upminster may also be on this list depending on whether there is a typing error in one code.

Additional codes are used by Docklands Light Railway, London Trams/Croydon Tramlink and London Overground (National Rail), shown on their separate pages.
