Leyton Station, London

Leyton Station (GPS: 51.5565, -0.00561) is a station of the London Underground in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. The station is off High Road Leyton, on a flyover above the railway tracks and the A12 Motorway, in Travelcard Zone 3. It is served by the Central Line between Stratford Tube Station, heading towards West Ruislip Tube Station, and Leytonstone Tube Station, heading towards Epping, Hainault and Woodford.

The Leyton Tube Station began operations in 1856 for the Eastern Counties Railway. At that time, it was known as the Low Leyton Station. It was renamed to its present name in 1868. The Central Line began operations here in 1947.

The Leyton Tube Station is close to TK Maxx, a shopping centre, and St Patrick's Catholic Cemetery on Langthorne Road. Also within the vicinity is Drapers Field.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
