South Kensington [Met]
South Kensington, District and Circle Lines, looking east on 15th January 2023. It was originally opened by the Metropolitan with its extension from Praed Street junction at Paddington on 1st October 1868 and on 24th December 1868 an end-on junction was made here with the Metropolitan District Railway (commonly known as the District) with the first stage of its line from here to Westminster Bridge (renamed Westminster in 1907). It had a four platform layout, with two for eastbound trains, but that was altered in 1969 by focusing on the central island, leaving this disused platform with Victorian arches.
