Farringdon Station

Farringdon is an Underground and main line National Rail station in Clerkenwell, London. The station is in the London Borough of Islington, just outside the boundary of the City of London. It was opened in 1863 as the terminus of the Metropolitan Railway. Grade II listed. LinkExternal link
Today the Underground station is served by the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines between King's Cross St Pancras and Barbican. The National Rail station is one of the less important main line central London stations, being a stop on the Thameslink route between St Pancras and City Thameslink, but that is expected to change when it becomes a major interchange station between Thameslink and the Crossrail programme which is due for completion in 2021.
