London Underground Poster - Charing Cross Renamed Embankment (1977)
Charing Cross (Embankment) Renamed Embankment
Printed by Bournehall Press. Lithograph on Paper. Print Code "776-2451M-2500/2chgs (1500). Poster No.2". Measures 101cm x 63cm (Double Royal). Condition: Excellent, just some minor blemishes.
This unusual and rare poster advises passengers that Charing Cross (Embankment) station will be renamed ‘Embankment’. It features a portion of Paul Garbutt’s diagrammatic map of the day, an adaptation of Harry Beck’s iconic design of 1933.
The stations in the vicinity of Charing Cross saw the most significant transformation during the Jubilee Line development, with three stations in close proximity being merged into one - those being The Strand, Trafalgar Square and the existing Charing Cross station. Meanwhile Charing Cross (Embankment) on the District and Circle Lines was renamed Embankment.
This station, located at the bottom of Villiers Street beneath London's Victoria Embankment, has suffered an identity crisis over the years with no less than 4 name changes: Originally called Charing Cross in 1870, it was renamed 'Charing Cross (Embankment)' then bank to Charing Cross, then back to Charing Cross (Embankment) in 1974 before it was finally settled with 'Embankment' in 1977!
