Home > Piccadilly Line
The Piccadilly Line is a line of the London Underground, coloured dark blue on the Tube map.
The line was opened as the Great Northern, Piccadilly & Brompton Railway in 1906, having been formed from the amalgamation of three planned tube railways: the Great Northern and Strand Railway, the Brompton and Piccadilly Circus Railway and the "Deep-Level District." The original route was from Finsbury Park to Hammersmith. The line was expanded rapidly in the 1930s, taking over two branches of the District Line in the west and extending through new tubes and surface tracks to Cockfosters in the north-east. These extensions are notable for the Art Deco architecture of their stations, many designed by Charles Holden.
From 1907 to 1994, except during the Second World War, a short branch off the Piccadilly Line served Aldwych tube station.
