St Mary's (Whitechapel Road) tube station shortly after its closure in 1938

There are several dozen permanently closed London Underground stations across the London Underground ("tube") network. Some were simply built too near to other stations to be useful; others experienced too little use to make their retention worthwhile, or became redundant after lines were rerouted. Some of the closed stations retain their original station façades, while others have been demolished to make way for shops. At least one (Aldwych) is now used for filming and exhibition purposes. A number of other stations, Charing Cross for example, while still open, have closed platforms or sections.

The above-Northern Line extension to Bushey was part of the Northern Heights plan of the 1930s. Part of this plan was for the Northern Line to take over existing LNER lines in north London.

• The James Bond movie Die Another Day featured a disused tube station called Vauxhall Cross. This is supposed to be on a disused branch of the Piccadilly Line (similar to Aldwych) that runs south of the river to Vauxhall Cross, in the vicinity of the MI6 building. In fact, the Piccadilly Line does not cross the river at all; the closest that it comes is Hyde Park Corner tube station, about 2.7 km to the north-west. However, Vauxhall tube station on the Victoria Line is within about 100 metres

• The second episode of the 1979 LWT comedy series End of Part One includes the main characters watching a film called "The Life of Christopher Columbus". In the film, Columbus goes to a tube station and asks for a train to America but is told he can go only as far as Catford. Part of a modified tube map is shown which shows the fictitious tube stations Lewisham, Ladywell, Edge of the World and Catford on the East London Section of the Metropolitan Line south from New Cross tube station. There is an actual part of the mainline Mid-Kent Railway that interchanges with New Cross tube station, and the stations are, southwards in order: St. John's, Lewisham, Ladywell and Catford Bridge (Catford on a different line interchanges with the latter).

• A deleted scene from the film Shaun of the Dead, included on its DVD release, sees the title character (played by Simon Pegg) attempting to catch a tube to work from the fictitious Crouch End tube station, only to find it closed. While in reality, the nearest operational Underground stations are Highgate and Finsbury Park, there had been plans before World War II to amalgamate the former LNER surface line between the two into the Underground system under the Northern Heights plan, with one of the two intermediate stations being 'Crouch End'. A special 'Crouch End' tube station sign was made for the film scene and, according to Pegg's DVD commentary, is now mounted in his own bedroom. Crouch End is a district well known for the number of actors living there.

• An episode of the BBC series Spooks (broadcast 23 October 2006) featured a fictional disused Underground station called Wells Lane.

• BBC1 Eastenders features a fictional station called Walford.
