Old Street station is a London Underground and National Rail station located at the junction of Old Street and City Road just north of the City of London. It lies on the border between the boroughs of Islington and Hackney. The station is in Travelcard Zone 1.
The station is on the Bank branch of London Underground's Northern Line, between Moorgate and Angel stations. It is also between Moorgate and Essex Road stations on National Rail's Northern City Line, operated by First Capital Connect. Although a through station on this route, for ticketing purposes, it is considered a central London railway terminus.
At the surface, the station is situated under the eastern edge of the busy Old Street roundabout, where Old Street crosses City Road. There is no ground-level station building, access being by ramps and stairs to a modern station entrance which is part of a small shopping parade beneath the roundabout. The station has toilets, but they are not open late into the evening.
