Transport for London has announced that Bond Street station on the Elizabeth Line will open from 6 November 2022. Bond Street will be one of the key stations on the central section of the Elizabeth line, and the brand-new station will feature two ticket halls at street level.  

The new station will provide greater connectivity  to  the area for workers and visitors. With journey times from Heathrow to Bond Street at just 36 minutes, and from Reading to Bond Street in 56 minutes. 

The 6 November date will also see the Elizabeth line start running on Sundays, providing easier access to the West End and the Quarter at weekends.
