Green Park tube station is a London Underground station located on the north side of Green Park, close to the intersection of Piccadilly and the pedestrian Queen's Walk. The station was originally named Dover Street due to its location in that street. It is in fare zone 1.
The station is one of two tube stations serving Buckingham Palace, the other being St James's Park on the Circle and District lines.
History and structure
The station was opened on 15 December 1906 by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (GNP&BR), the precursor of the Piccadilly line. When the station was rebuilt in 1933 with escalator access to the platforms, a new sub-surface ticket hall was built to the west under the roadway and new station entrances were constructed on the corner of Piccadilly and Stratton Street and on the south side of Piccadilly. The station name was changed at this time.
In contrast with its neighbouring parks, Green Park has no lakes, no buildings, and few monuments, having only the Canada Memorial by Pierre Granche, the Diana Fountain, and the RAF Bomber Command Memorial. The park consists almost entirely of mature trees rising out of turf; the only flowers are naturalized narcissus.
It serves Green Park Main, Yusuf Sarai Market and Green Park Extension. It is also a short walk from Aurobindo Place, located on the same road just south of the station.Places like Green Park Market, Gulmohar Park,Gautam nagar have access from this metro station only.Restaurants like A2B, Evergreen and the famous National Institute of Fashion Technology can be reached by walk from this metro station

Changing At Green Park: Faster To Use The Escalators?
A while back, a certain Geoff Marshall started an unfounded rumour that it is faster to use the escalators to switch lines at Green Park tube station, than to use the corridor route suggested by TfL.
Then we got thinking: what if the rumour was actually true? Only one way to find out...
(We should point out that during peak/busy time it's always better to follow the official TfL signage in stations as overcrowding can be an issue)
Also, some would say that the best way to change at Green Park would be to NOT change there at all! Just avoid it, and go a different way!

Jubilee line!
The origins of the Jubilee line are less clearly defined than those of the Victoria line. During World War II and throughout the 1950s and early 1960s consideration was given to various routes connecting north-west and south-east London via the West End and the City of London. Planning of the Victoria line had the greater priority and it was not until after construction of that line started that detailed planning began for the new line, first called the Fleet line in 1965 as it was planned to run in an east-west direction along Fleet Street.[43] Lack of funding meant that only the first stage of the proposed line, from Baker Street to Charing Cross, received royal assent in July 1969; funding was agreed in August 1971.[44][j]
Tunnelling began in February 1972 and was completed by the end of 1974.[46] In 1977, during construction of the stations, the name of the line was changed to the Jubilee line, to mark the Queen's Silver Jubilee that year.[47][k] A construction shaft in Hays Mews north of the station was used for an electrical substation and ventilation shaft.[49] At Green Park, the ticket hall was enlarged slightly to provide space for escalators for the new line which connect to an intermediate concourse providing interchange between the Jubilee and Victoria lines. A second flight of escalators descends to the Jubilee line platforms,[50] which are 31.1 metres (102 ft) below street level, the deepest of the three sets.[27] Interchange between the Jubilee and Piccadilly lines was via the ticket hall.[51] Platform walls were tiled in a deep red with black leaf patterns by June Fraser.[52][53] Trial running of trains began in August 1978 and the Jubilee line opened on 1 May the next year.[22][49] The line had been officially opened by Prince Charles the previous day, starting with a train journey from Green Park to Charing Cross.[49] In 1993, to alleviate congestion, a third escalator was installed in the lower flight to replace a fixed staircase.[50
Work on the Fleet line's stages 2 and 3 did not proceed and it was not until 1992 that an alternative route was approved.[l] The Jubilee line extension took the line south of the River Thames via Waterloo, which was impractical to reach from the line's existing terminus at Charing Cross. New tunnels branching from the original route south of Green Park were to be constructed, and the line to Charing Cross was to be closed.[56] Tunnelling began in May 1994, and improvements were carried out at Green Park to provide a direct passageway connection between the Jubilee and Piccadilly lines, including lifts to the platforms at each end.[51] A new ventilation shaft and an emergency exit to Arlington Street were built.[27][51] The new extension opened in stages starting at Stratford in the east, with services to Charing Cross ending on 19 November 1999 and the final section between Green Park and Waterloo opening the following day.[22]

Planning of the Victoria line had the greater priority and it was not until after construction of that line started that detailed planning began for the new line, first called the Fleet line in 1965 as it was planned to run in an east-west direction along Fleet Street.[43] Lack of funding meant that only the first stage of the proposed line, from Baker Street to Charing Cross, received royal assent in July 1969; funding was agreed in August 1971.[44][j]
Tunnelling began in February 1972 and was completed by the end of 1974.[46] In 1977, during construction of the stations, the name of the line was changed to the Jubilee line, to mark the Queen's Silver Jubilee that year.[47][k] A construction shaft in Hays Mews north of the station was used for an electrical substation and ventilation shaft.[49] At Green Park, the ticket hall was enlarged slightly to provide space for escalators for the new line which connect to an intermediate concourse providing interchange between the Jubilee and Victoria lines. A second flight of escalators descends to the Jubilee line platforms,[50] which are 31.1 metres (102 ft) below street level, the deepest of the three sets.[27] Interchange between the Jubilee and Piccadilly lines was via the ticket hall.[51] Platform walls were tiled in a deep red with black leaf patterns by June Fraser.[52][53] Trial running of trains began in August 1978 and the Jubilee line opened on 1 May the next year.[22][49] The line had been officially opened by Prince Charles the previous day, starting with a train journey from Green Park to Charing Cross.[49] In 1993, to alleviate congestion, a third escalator was installed in the lower flight to replace a fixed staircase.[50
Work on the Fleet line's stages 2 and 3 did not proceed and it was not until 1992 that an alternative route was approved.[l] The Jubilee line extension took the line south of the River Thames via Waterloo, which was impractical to reach from the line's existing terminus at Charing Cross. New tunnels branching from the original route south of Green Park were to be constructed, and the line to Charing Cross was to be closed.[56] Tunnelling began in May 1994, and improvements were carried out at Green Park to provide a direct passageway connection between the Jubilee and Piccadilly lines, including lifts to the platforms at each end.[51] A new ventilation shaft and an emergency exit to Arlington Street were built.[27][51] The new extension opened in stages starting at Stratford in the east, with services to Charing Cross ending on 19 November 1999 and the final section between Green Park and Waterloo opening the following day.[22]

Green Park tube station is a London Underground station located on the north side of Green Park, close to the intersection of Piccadilly and the pedestrian Queen's Walk. The station was originally named Dover Street due to its location in that street. It is in fare zone 1.
The station is one of two tube stations serving Buckingham Palace, the other being St James's Park on the Circle and District lines.
History and structure
The station was opened on 15 December 1906 by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (GNP&BR), the precursor of the Piccadilly line. When the station was rebuilt in 1933 with escalator access to the platforms, a new sub-surface ticket hall was built to the west under the roadway and new station entrances were constructed on the corner of Piccadilly and Stratton Street and on the south side of Piccadilly. The station name was changed at this time.
