Ravenscourt Park Station, London

Ravenscourt Park Station (GPS: 51.49407, -0.23588) is a station of the London Underground in Ravenscourt Park, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The station, which is in Travelcard Zone 2, is served by the District Line between the Stamford Brook Tube Station (heading towards Richmond or Ealing Broadway Tube Station) and Hammersmith Station (heading towards Upminster or High Street Kensington).

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.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
