Location Profile: BETHNAL GREEN |
 |
Bethnal Green is the only stop on the Central Line between Liverpool Street and Mile End. |
| Bethnal Green is very much in the heart of the east end of London whilst the station itself is located beneath a busy crossroads. |  |
 |
Four traffic flows meet here in a part of London that is in some parts, particularly westwards towards Shoreditch and Liverpool Street in desperate need of regeneration. |
|
The subway access to Bethnal Green Underground Station was sadly the scene of a disaster during the war when a crowd fleeing bombing were crushed to death whilst trying to get underground into shelter. |
 |
 |
There are no surface buildings for Bethnal Green
Station, just subway entrances to a ticket hall beneath the main
intersection. This is the Roman Road entrance near the Bethnal Green Public Library. |
|
Served by the Central Line, the platform tiling and fittings have recently been extensively restored to the original style as used at the station's opening in the late 1940's. |
