Farringdon is exceptionally connected through its station which is one of four interchanges in London where passengers can access national rail links (via Thameslink), London Underground services (Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith & City) and The Elizabeth Line. Opened in 1863, Farringdon Station claims to be the oldest underground metro station in the world, but perhaps more impressive is the estimation that a quarter of England’s population can reach Farringdon within 45 minutes.
