OVAL TUBE STATION

Oval tube station in Kennington, London, England is about 500 metres from the Oval cricket ground. It connects to the Northern Line, and is between Stockwell and Kennington. It is in zone 2.

From Oval tube station, buses travel to Brixton, Camberwell Green and other places.

Oval opened 18 December 1890.

After a long escalator refurbishment in 2003, during which access both onto and from the platform was given by a pair of spiral staircases, the escalators were briefly reopened. After about a week, one of the escalators was taken offline and is now undergoing maintenance again.
