Served by the District and Circle lines. The station was opened by the Metropolitan District Railway in 1871 and acted as the terminus of the route from west London until the line was extended eastwards in 1884. Mansion House retains three platforms from its days as the terminus of the line - although trains are sometimes still terminated here, currently Tower Hill is more normally used as a terminus. Here, a westbound Circle Line service formed of S7 stock arrives passing through a tiny shaft of daylight in this otherwise enclosed station. Map locations given are approximate due to the difficulty in accurately locating an underground structure.
