Seven Sisters station is a National Rail and London Underground Victoria Line station in the Seven Sisters area of the London Borough Of Haringey , north London . The station is in Travelcard Zone 3 . Seven Sisters lies between Finsbury Park and Tottenham Hale on the Victoria Line and between Stamford Hill and Bruce Grove on the National Rail line operated by One from Liverpool Street Station . There is also a link via South Tottenham to Stratford . HISTORY The station was constructed by the Great Eastern Railway (GER) on its Stoke Newington & Edmonton Railway line and opened on 22 July 1872 . On 1 January 1878 , the GER opened a branch line, the Palace Gates Line , from Seven Sisters station to Palace Gates (Wood Green) Station to the north-west. Due to unprofitability, the Palace Gates Line was closed by British Rail in 1963 and the branch line track and platforms at Seven Sisters have been removed. The first section of the Victoria Line opened on 1 September 1968 serving Seven Sisters, although a shared entrance and interchange facilities with the surface station were not opened until December 1968 . The original GER entrance to the station was situated in West Green Road at the north end of the surface station but the new combined entrance was opened in Seven Sisters Road at the south end of the platforms. The original entrance was closed at that time. Access to the main Victoria Line ticket hall is via subway access on each side of High Road just north of the junction with Seven Sisters Road. TRIVIA The section of Victoria Line between Seven Sisters and Finsbury Park stations is the longest between adjacent stations in deep level tunnels on the London Underground network. TRANSPORT CONNECTIONS London Buses routes 73, 76, 149, 243, 259, 279, 318, 349 and 476 serve the station. EXTERNAL LINKS
