The Metropolitan District Railway opened its station alongside on 12th April 1869 but the two were separate. WLER passenger services ceased on 21st October 1940 and its West Brompton station closed. However, the line reopened in 1994 with new platforms on the site of the 1866 station opening on 1st June 1999.

Oxford Circus [CL]: Oxford Circus, LU Central Line, eastbound platform, looking east, at 14.26 on Monday, 17th February 2025. This station was opened by the Central London Railway (now the Central Line) on 30th July 1900 and became an interchange with the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway (soon corrupted to Bakerloo Line) on 10th March 1906 and the Victoria Line on 7th March 1969. Cross-platform interchange is available in both directions between the Bakerloo and Victoria Lines but changing from those to the Central Line involves a quite lengthy walk, including fixed steps.
