Ravenscourt Park Tube Station is located next to the railway overpass along Ravenscourt Road. It began operations back in 1873. At that time, it was managed by the London and South Western Railway for the new branch line going to Richmond. The station was originally known as the Shaftesbury Road Station.
In 1877, the Metropolitan District Railway, precursor of the District Line, extended its line to this station. In 1888, the Shaftesbury Road Station was renamed the Ravenscourt Park Station, a name that remains till this day. Electrification of the Metropolitan District Railway was achieved in 1903.

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.
