Walthamstow Central is a London Underground and commuter rail station on the Victoria line and the Chingford branch of the London commuter rail network operated by National Express East Anglia (commuter trains in northeast London originating at Liverpool Street). Whilst having no direct interchange to it; it is very close to the London Overground station Walthamstow Queen's Road.

The station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway (as Hoe Street) in 1870 and London Underground services started on 1 September 1968. The up-side station building is a remarkably well preserved example of a mid-Victorian country station. The station's present name was only given when the Victoria line arrived.
