Opened in 1979 and extended to Stratford in 1999 for the Millennium, the Jubilee line is the youngest of the deep-level tube lines. Its silver colouring reflects its relative modernity, and its stations — designed by top architects — are among the most visually impressive in the world.
The Architecture of the Extension
When the Jubilee line extension opened in 1999, it brought with it a series of civic-minded, expansive stations. Canary Wharf station by Norman Foster, Bermondsey by Ian Ritchie, and Waterloo by Nicholas Grimshaw are all worth visiting even if you’re not catching a train.
Key Connections
At London Bridge you can connect to the Northern and other lines, and cross London Bridge itself on foot. At Westminster, the station’s raw concrete engineering is famously visible from the platforms.
