Close

The station was opened on 10 March 1906^[6] by the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway (BS&WR); in the original parliamentary authority for the construction of the BS&WR no station was allowed at Regent's Park. Permission was granted to add it to the already partially constructed line in 1904.^[7] In 1983, London Transport proposed to close the station on the basis that the passenger lifts, which at the time were 77 years old, needed to be replaced at a cost of more than £3 million.^[8] The proposal was dropped following a request by the GLC for the matter to be reconsidered.^[8]

Construction of the station ticket hall involved digging a box like void underneath the garden above. This caused significant subsidence, this is why the large metal beams in the ticket hall are present.^{[citation needed]}

Unlike most of the BS&WR's other stations, Regent's Park has no surface buildings and is accessed from a subway. The station is served by lifts, and between 10 July 2006 and 14 June 2007 it was closed to allow essential refurbishment work on these and other parts of the station. There is also a staircase which can be used which has 96 steps.

Nearby points of interest are Regent's Park itself, the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal College of Physicians, Holy Trinity Church, Portland Place and Harley Street.

Great Portland Street station is within walking distance to the east for interchanges to the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines; however, out-of-station interchange fares do not apply and both journeys will continue to be charged separately.

The typical service pattern in trains per hour (tph) operated during off-peak hours weekdays and all day Saturdays is:^[9]

• 6tph to Harrow & Wealdstone via Queen's Park and Stonebridge Park (Northbound)
• 3tph to Stonebridge Park via Queen's Park (Northbound)
• 11tph to Queen's Park (Northbound)
• 20tph to Elephant & Castle (Southbound)

Weekday peak service operates with one or two additional Queen's Park-Elephant & Castle trains per hour, and Sunday service operates with two fewer Queen's Park-Elephant & Castle trains per hour during the core of the day.

The station is served by London Buses routes 18, 27, 30, 88, 205, 453 and night route N18.
