Upton Park tube station

Upton Park Station is a London Underground station on the District and Hammersmith and City lines, located on Green Street, London in the Upton Park area of Newham, east London. It is in Zone 3.

The station was opened by the London Tilbury & Southend Railway in 1877. District Line service began in 1902, and the Hammersmith & City (then the Metropolitan Line) followed in 1936. LTSR services were withdrawn in 1962.

The station has two working platforms, one for each direction. Two other platforms used to serve the LTSR but are now disused.

Upton Park serves as the local tube station for the Boleyn Ground, the home ground of West Ham United football club. Also nearby is Queen's Market , a food and clothing market frequented by east London's Asian community.
