REDBRIDGE TUBE STATION

'Redbridge tube station' is a London Underground station in Redbridge, on the Hainault loop of the Central Line, in Zone 4. It is on the Eastern Avenue.
The station was opened on December 14, 1947. Construction had begun in the 1930s but was delayed by the onset of World War 2. During the war, the completed train tunnels at Redbridge were used by the Plessey company as an aircraft parts factory. The station building was designed by renowned Tube architect, Charles Holden, who also designed other stations on the same branch.
Since the station was built, a large roundabout has been constructed next to it, being a junction with the A406 and M11.

The station is located at .
It was also mentioned in the Department S episode The Last Train To Redbridge.
