Stockwell tube station is a London Underground station in Stockwell, in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is situated between Clapham North and Oval on the Northern line, and between Vauxhall and Brixton on the Victoria line. It is also the only station on the Morden branch of the Northern line which has an interchange with another Underground line. It is in Travelcard Zone 2.
Stockwell station was ceremonially opened on 4 November 1890 by the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), as the most southerly station on the City & South London Railway (C&SLR) - London's first deep level tube railway. Passenger services began just over one month later on 18 December 1890.
The station had a single island platform, with tracks on either side, an arrangement rarely used on the Underground network, and which still exists only at Clapham North and Clapham Common stations.
Stockwell is one of eight London Underground stations with an adjacent deep-level air-raid shelter, constructed during the Second World WII.
