[edit] History
Lambeth North station was opened on 10 March 1906, as Kennington Road and served as the temporary southern terminus of the line until 5 August 1906 when Elephant & Castle station was opened. The station's name was changed to Westminster Bridge Road in July 1906 and it was again renamed, to Lambeth North, in April 1917.
The station was closed with the section of the line south of Piccadilly Circus for tunnel strengthening works between 9 November 1996 and 14 July 1997.
The station was designed by Leslie Green. It has two lifts and a spiral staircase connecting the road level to platform level (about 70 feet below).
