The Circle Line of the London Underground became known as such in 1949, when it was designated separately from its parent lines, the Metropolitan Line and the District Line, although it had been shown on Underground maps since 1947. It can be thought of as a "virtual line", as the Circle Line does not have any stations for its sole use. This is because the Circle Line was created from two previously-existing lines (see history below). The only two sections of track over which the Circle Line operates exclusively are the chords between High Street Kensington and Gloucester Road, and between Tower Hill and Aldgate. The line has interchanges with most of the major London terminals (all but Marylebone, Euston, London Bridge and Waterloo).
Stations on the Circle Line are: Paddington, for Great Western Main Line Edgware Road Baker Street Great Portland Street Euston Square, for Euston station and West Coast Main Line King's Cross St Pancras for Midland Main Line and East Coast Main Line Farringdon Barbican Moorgate Liverpool Street for Great Eastern Main Line Aldgate Tower Hill Monument Cannon Street Mansion House Blackfriars Temple Embankment Westminster St. James's Park Victoria Sloane Square South Kensington Gloucester Road High Street Kensington Notting Hill Gate Bayswater |
