Bow Road station is a London Underground station on the District and Hammersmith And City lines, located in Bow , east London . It is 200 metres' walk from Bow Church DLR Station and is in Zone 2 . The station was opened in 1902 by the Whitechapel & Bow Railway (which was later incorporated into the District Line), with the Hammersmith & City Line (then the Metropolitan Line ) following in 1936 . The station booking hall is now a Grade II Listed Building . Bow Road marks the point where westbound trains from Upminster and Barking enter a tunnel; the gradient of the tunnel approach, which is to the east of the station, is 1 in 28, the steepest on the entire tube network. Nearby, there used to be a Bow Road Railway Station on the Great Eastern Railway , which was on the opposite side of Bow Road. It closed in 1949. |
