Walthamstow Central is a station on the Victoria Line and the 'one' service from Chingford to Liverpool Street. It is the northern terminus of the Victoria Line. The station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway (as Hoe Street) in 1870 and London Underground services started on 1 September 1968. The up-side station building is a remarkably well preserved example of a mid-Victorian country station.
The main entrance to the station is opposite the local bus station, which was revamped in summer 2004. The entrance to the tube was revamped in early 2006.
There are plans to build an underground pedestrian walkway to nearby Walthamstow Queens Road station, work on this commenced in October 2006 meaning that the main Underground ticket office will be closed until late 2007. The majority of historic features will be retained according to Transport for London posters.
The typical off-peak service is:
- 4tph to Chingford
- 4tph to Liverpool Street
