Fairlop is a station on the Central Line of the London Underground.
It has been in Travelcard Zone 4 since 2 January 2007.
It is on the north side of Forest Road, in Fairlop, just north of Barkingside.
Steam train services serving Fairlop were suspended on 29 November 1947
and electrified Central Line passenger services, to Central London via Gants Hill,
finally commenced on 31 May 1948.
The line from Newbury Park to Hainault through Fairlop had been electrified for
empty train movements to the new depot at Hainault from 14 December 1947.
Few alterations took place during this transfer, and the station remains a fine
example of an Edwardian railway station including canopies that still bear the
"GER" symbol in the bracketry.
