Route map of London Underground as it was 1 March 1880


Fulham Broadway

then Walham Green


The original station building is now "Market Hall", containing bars and restaurants.


The main entrance to Fulham Broadway station is now part of a shopping centre.
The control room overlooks the ticket gateline.
I visited during the recent World Cup (the day after England beat Sweden) - note the flags of competing nations hung on the wall.


A walkway between the shopping centre and its car park allows you to look down into the station.


Home of the fifth best football team in England.
