Stockwell is a London Underground station in Stockwell in the London Borough of Lambeth. It is located on the Northern line between Oval and Clapham North stations, and on the Victoria line between Brixton and Vauxhall stations. It is in Travelcard Zone 2.
Stockwell station was ceremonially opened on 4 November 1890 by the Prince of Wales , as the most southerly station on the City & South London Railway – London's first deep-level tube railway. Passenger services began just over one month later on 18 December 1890.
With the opening of the Victoria line on 23 July 1971, parallel cross-platform interchanges were provided between the two lines in both directions and the 1920s surface buildings were replaced by a modern structure. A British Transport Police station was later built above the station.
