Arsenal Station, London

Arsenal Station (GPS: 51.55846, -0.10573) is a station of the London Underground located in the neighbourhood of Highbury, in the London Borough of Islington. Originally known as Gillespie Road Tube Station, it was renamed in 1932 after the Arsenal Football Club - the only tube station to ever be renamed after a football club - as the club was playing at the nearby Arsenal Stadium (which closed in 2006, and Arsenal now plays at the new Emirates Stadium). The wall tiles of the station still show the old name of "Gillespie Road".

Arsenal Tube Station is served by the Piccadilly Line between Holloway Road Tube Station and Finsbury Park Tube Station in Travelcard Zone 2. It first began operations on 15 December 1906 for the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
