Walthamstow Central is a station on the Victoria Line and the 'one' service from Chingford to Liverpool Street. It is the northern terminus of the Victoria Line. The station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway (as Hoe Street) in 1870 and London Underground services started on 1 September 1968. The up-side station building is a remarkably well preserved example of a mid-Victorian country station. Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...

The main entrance to the station is on the down side and is opposite the local bus station, which was revamped in summer 2004. There are three staffed ticket windows and a number of ticket machines to serve the majority of the traffic that enters the station. The entrance to the tube was revamped in early 2006. There is a smaller entrance and ticket office on the up line, providing convenient access to the car park; however, the ticket office here is normally unstaffed outside of peak hours and the ticket machines are often out of service.

The underground station, like many stations on the Victoria Line, was never completely finished. White ceiling panels were never fixed to the ceilings above the platforms; instead the steel tunnel segments were painted black and used to support the fixtures and fittings. This has had a detrimental effect on the lighting levels. There is a concrete stairway between the two escalators instead of a much-needed third escalator; this caused a hugely disruptive station closure for several weeks in 2004 when both escalators went out of service. In a confusion of priorities, time, money and effort were spent on re-tiling the entrances and stairways, even though the walls were still in a reasonable condition. It is not clear whether the station's shortcomings will be remedied by Transport for London's Investment Programme.

A subway was built in 2005 under the busy Selborne Road linking a new bus station with a new Victoria Line ticket office to open in September 2007, which has entailed the closure and demolition of the existing one-window ticket office. The 'one' ticket offices are unaffected. The original plan was to fit out and open the new subway and ticket office in spring 2005 but problems with insufficient power capacity to supply two new lifts, together with planning and contractual errors, have delayed the opening by two and a half years.
