Bit of a long one here but found this on the web. Lots of planned stations but as the lines were not built or some other reason.
Aldwych
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
You might be wondering what on earth the Fleet line is!
It was the original name for the now Jubilee Line and an extension to Aldwych was part of the cancelled phase two plan to extended this line.
At the time it would have simply passed through the Aldwych station that was already there, which sat on the Piccadilly Line but closed on September 30 (1994) because of passenger numbers and the cost of replacing lifts.
Alexandra Palace
Line: Northern
Planned: 1935
Cancelled: 1954
This is actually quite annoying given how long it takes to get to Alexandra Palace. Its current train station is still about a 20 minute walk away.
This proposal was cancelled as part of the abandoned part of the Northern Heights Project.
Beckton
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
The station we only know now as sitting on the DLR was once going to be part of the Jubilee Line.
It was part of the cancelled revised phase three of the Jubilee Line plans. It appears the Jubilee Line was once going to be much larger than it is today.
Brixton
Line: City and Brixton Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
The City and Brixton Railway was planned to run from King William Street in the City of London under the Thames via Borough, Lambeth and The Oval.
Brockley Hill
Line: Northern
Planned:1936
Cancelled: 1953
This station was actually partly built, but it was part of one of the abandoned Northern Heights Project stations.
Bushey Heath
Line: Northern
Planned: 1936
Cancelled: 1949
This was also cancelled as part of the Northern Heights Project but would have been at Bushey Heath, on the border between the Borough of Harrow and Hertfordshire.
Camberwell
Line: Bakerloo
Planned: 1931
Cancelled: 1950
Back in the 1940s there were plans to extend the Bakerloo Line beyond Elephant and Castle to reach Camberwell.
South East London residents may be pleased to know this has actually been revived and there are plans once again to extend the line to Camberwell and then on to Lewisham and maybe Catford Bridge railway station to take over the Hayes Line. Don't get too excited though, it's not expected until 2028 or 2029.
Cannon Hill
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1923
This is the unbuilt station on the Wimbledon and Sutton Railway and was simply replaced by Wimbledon Chase once the line was built.
Cannon Street
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
This station was also going to be on the now Jubilee Line but was included in the cancelled phase two of the line extension.
Charing Cross
Line: London Central Railway
Planned: 1871
Cancelled: 1874
If it had ever been built it would have sat on the north side of the Strand opposite the mainline station.
Charing Cross
Line: District
Planned: 1897
Cancelled: 1908
It would have run under the south side of the Circle line from Gloucester Road to Mansion House and had an interchange with what is now Embankment station.
Cheam
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1923
The historic village of Cheam in Sutton was once going to be on the Wimbledon and Sutton Railway but the decision was made to never build it.
Clerkenwell
Line: Metropolitan Railway
Planned: 1911
Cancelled: 1932
This was an unbuilt station that was going to be on the Metropolitan Railway, also known as the Met, which was a passenger and goods railway serving London from 1863 to 1933.
Collingwood Road
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1922
Joining quite a few others, like Cheam, this station was originally intended for the Wimbledon and Sutton Railway but never built.
Cranley Gardens
Line: Northern
Planned: 1935
Cancelled: 1954
This was also a sadly abandoned station that would have been part of the Northern Heights Project.
Crouch End
Line: Northern
Planned: 1935
Cancelled: 1954
Another one abandoned because of the Northern Heights Project. That project definitely wasn't a good idea.
Custom House
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled 1989
Where the Excel Centre is now and only on the DLR, this station one have been another that was part of the Jubilee Line extension. That would have made it far easier to get to conferences at the Excel.
Denham
Line: Central
Planned: 1937
Cancelled: 1948
Interestingly, this would have been part of the Central line extension beyond West Ruislip, where the line stops now.
Plans couldn't go ahead because of the introduction of the Metropolitan Green Belt, though National Rail still goes through there.
Elm Farm
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1922
Another one of those that never made it onto the Wimbledon and Sutton Railway (are you bored of these yet).
Elm Grove
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1922
You're not allowed to be bored because this was also going to be on that infamous Wimbledon and Sutton Railway.
Elstree South
Line: Northern
Planned: 1936
Cancelled: 1949
A rare Tube station that would have been outside of London, this would have stretched the Northern Line to Elstree in Hertfordshire but the abandoned Northern Heights Project meant it never happened.
Emlyn Road
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
Can you imagine the Central Line going to Richmond? Well once there were plans to make it happen and this would have been one of the stations on the route.
Fenchurch Street
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
It's that abandoned phase two of the Jubilee Line extension again. Remember the Jubilee Line used to be the Fleet Line.
Goodge Street
Line: London Central Railway
Planned: 1871
Cancelled: 1874
It would have been further west on Goodge Street from where today's station sits on the Northern Line.
Gower Street
Line: London Central Railway
Planned: 1871
Cancelled: 1874
This was going to be an interchange station that would have connected the then-Metropolitan Railway's station of the same name.
Have you guessed which station that is?
Today's Euston Square.
Hammersmith
Line: Central
Planned: 1919
Cancelled 1920s
You're probably thinking every place in London was going to be on the Central Line at this point.
This was part of the plan to extend to Richmond, but on an alternative route from the 1913 plan.
Hampstead Village
Line: Metropolitan & St John's Wood Railway
Planned: 1865
Cancelled: 1870
A steep, 1-in-27 gradient extension of the Metropolitan & St John's Wood Railway was proposed to a station at Flask Walk/Willow Road in Hampstead Village. A short length of tunnel was built at Swiss Cottage but further capital could not be raised and the route was abandoned by act in 1870. Maps indicate an intermediate station was also proposed.
Harefield Road
Line: Central
Planned: 1937
Cancelled: 1948
This was also going to be part of that Central Line extension beyond West Ruislip but the Metropolitan Green Belt prevented it from happening.
Harringay
Line: Great Northern & Strand Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
Part of a section of the Great Northern and Strand Railway running beneath the Great North Railway north of Finsbury Park, which was cancelled when the line was merged with the Brompton and Piccadilly Circus Railway, aka the now Piccadilly Line. It would have had an interchange with the GNR's Harringay station.
Harrow Road
Line: North West London Railway
Planned: 1899
Cancelled: 1908
As with the other North West London Railway stops, there just wasn't enough money to make this one happen.
Heathfield Terrace
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
Once again, this was all packed in because of that planned proposal to extend the line all the way to Richmond. The Night Tube would have been so useful though.
Highgate (High-level)
Line: Northern
Planned: 1935
Cancelled: 1954
It was abandoned because of the Northern Heights Project and was a transfer from the London North Eastern Railway (LNER). The LNER station was rebuilt but the transfer cancelled; the deep-level station that was built to interchange with the original high-level station remains in use.
Hornsey
Line: Great Northern & Strand Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
Just like Harringay this was going to be part of a section of the Great Northern and Strand Railway running beneath the Great North Railway north of Finsbury Park.
Hyde Park Corner
Line: North West London Railway
Planned: 1899
Cancelled: 1908
There was going to be another station where the now Hyde Park Corner station for the Piccadilly Line stands.
Kennington Cross
Line: City & Brixton Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
This would have been part of the line running from King William Street to Brixton, but the whole project was abandoned when it could not be funded.
Kilburn
Line: North West London Railway
Planned: 1899
Cancelled: 1908
This would have been a separate station to the current Jubilee Line one at Kilburn. The company could not raise enough money to make it happen.
Lambeth Road
Line: City & Brixton Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
Here's another that was cancelled as part of those City & Brixton Railway plans.
Leicester Square
Line: London Central Railway
Planned: 1871
Cancelled: 1874
It would have sat on the north side of Leicester Square, to the west of where the current Leicester Square station sits. The latter opened later than when this was planned.
Lewisham
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1972
Cancelled: 1989
Part of the cancelled phase three plan for extending the Jubilee line.
London Bridge
Line: City & Brixton Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
Just over the bridge from King William Street, this would likely have been one of the first stops on the line that never came to be.
Lorn Road
Line: City & Brixton Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
Lorn Road is near Stockwell and Brixton, SW9, and would have been part of the same line as the London Bridge station above.
Lothbury
Line: Great Northern & City Railway
Planned: 1902
Cancelled: 1914
Lothbury is a street in the City of London. Plans for a station here were superseded by an alternative plan that did not need the station, but which was also cancelled. So all in all nothing ended up happening.
Ludgate Circus
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
It's where Faringdon Street and New Bridge Street cross Fleet Street, in the City of London. It would have been super handy to have the Jubilee Line run here.
Maida Vale
Line: North West London Railway
Planned: 1899
Cancelled: 1908
The company never managed to raise funds and permissions expired. A separate station to the Bakerloo line station of the same name, which was planned later.
Mansion House
Line: District
Planned: 1897
Cancelled: 1908
You may be thinking, hmmm, there is already a Mansion House on the District Line.
This would have been in a different location to today's Manion House and been part of a cancelled deep-level express route running under the south side of the Circle Line from Gloucester Road.
Marble Arch
Line: North West London Railway
Planned: 1899
Cancelled: 1908
Imagine if there was another station at Marble Arch! Right now it's just the Central Line but these plans were cancelled because they didn't have enough money to make this happen.
Merton Park
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1923
It was on the Wimbledon and Sutton Railway but was later opened by Southern Railway as South Merton.
Mill Hill (The Hale)

Planned: 1935
Cancelled: 1954
Another one of those abandoned stations because of the failed Northern Heights Project.
Millwall

Cancelled: 1954
Based in the London Borough of Haringey, it was never built because of the Northern Heights Project mishap.

Cancelled: 1989
Not sure I should mention it again, but it would have been on the Jubilee Line extension.
New Cross Gate
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
This is on Southern Rail now but could have been on the Underground and connected South East London to Central quite nicely.
North End
Line: Northern
Planned: 1903
Cancelled: 1906
It was planned by the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway but abandoned, partly built at platform level, because of anticipated low passenger numbers. The line opened through the station as planned in 1907.
North Greenwich
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
This is confusing because this station is already on the Jubilee Line but it was planned for a slightly different location and would have been part of a new route.
Oxford Street
Line: London Central Railway
Planned: 1871
Cancelled: 1874
Hello, more crowds and chaos on Oxford Street. It was probably good this was never built.
It was going to be on Oxford Street, west of the junction with Tottenham Court Road.
Paddenswick Road
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
Another one of those poor souls that never made it into existence because we were teased with the idea of extended the Central Line to Richmond then it was snatched from us.
Rylett Road
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
This was also going to be part of the Richmond extension.
St George's Circus
Line: City & Brixton Railway

Cancelled: 1902
St George's Circus is a road junction in Southwark and was going to be a station on this awesome-sounding line.
St Katharine Docks
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
Basically it sounds like the whole of the DLR was once also going to be on the Jubilee Line.
Silvertown
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
A cool sounding name, this station would have been another Jubilee Line stop if the extension had happened.
South Morden
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1923
This is an unbuilt station that would have been on the Wimbledon and Sutton Railway but was replaced by Morden South and St Helier when the line was built.
Stroud Green
Line: Northern
Planned: 1935
Cancelled: 1954
Another one of those abandoned Northern Heights Project stations. We feel London would have had many more stations had that gone ahead.
Surrey Docks
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
Part of the original phase three of the Jubilee Line extension pans.
Surrey Docks North
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
This was also part of those plans we keep hearing about.
Sutton
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1923
This would have been a London, Brighton and South Coast station to which the Wimbledon and Sutton railway planned to extend.
It would have been useful for people who live all the way out in Sutton but work in Central London.
Sutton Common
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1923
This would have also been part of that Wimbledon and Sutton extension plan but was later opened by Southern Railway.
The Grove
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
We can't get over the fact Richmond was going to be on the Central Line. This would have been one of the new stops.
Trafalgar Square
Line: Charing Cross and Waterloo Electric Railway
Planned: 1882
Cancelled: 1885
Very fancy! This was part of a proposal for line from Charing Cross to Waterloo, which would have been the first proposed to use electric traction.
Turnham Green
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
We need to stop talking about the Central Line extension. This stop would have been on it too.
Walthamstow Wood Street
Line: Victoria
Planned: 1955
Cancelled: 1961
This was the original planned terminus of the Victoria line before plans were modified to omit the last station and terminate at Walthamstow Central instead.

Cancelled: 1950
This was part of the original extension plans to Camberwell. This could still happen!

Hello Jubilee Line extension, my old friend. Wapping would have been on it too.
Waterloo
Line: Charing Cross and Waterloo Electric Railway
Planned: 1882

Wood Green
Line: Great Northern & Strand Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
Part of a section of the Great Northern and Strand railway. It was cancelled when the line was merged with what is now the Piccadilly line. It would have had an interchange with the GNR's Wood Green station (now Alexandra Palace)

Cancelled: 1989
Victoria
Line: North West London Railway

Aldwych
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
You might be wondering what on earth the Fleet line is!
It was the original name for the now Jubilee Line and an extension to Aldwych was part of the cancelled phase two plan to extended this line.

Don't get too excited though, it's not expected until 2028 or 2029.

Planned: 1935
Cancelled: 1954
Based in the London Borough of Haringey, it was never built because of the Northern Heights Project mishap.
New Cross
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
Not sure I should mention it again, but it would have been on the Jubilee Line extension.
New Cross Gate
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
This is on Southern Rail now but could have been on the Underground and connected South East London to Central quite nicely.
North End
Line: Northern
Planned: 1903
Cancelled: 1906
It was planned by the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway but abandoned, partly built at platform level, because of anticipated low passenger numbers. The line opened through the station as planned in 1907.
North Greenwich
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
This is confusing because this station is already on the Jubilee Line but it was planned for a slightly different location and would have been part of a new route.
Oxford Street
Line: London Central Railway
Planned: 1871
Cancelled: 1874
Hello, more crowds and chaos on Oxford Street. It was probably good this was never built.
It was going to be on Oxford Street, west of the junction with Tottenham Court Road.
Paddenswick Road
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
Another one of those poor souls that never made it into existence because we were teased with the idea of extended the Central Line to Richmond then it was snatched from us.
Rylett Road
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
This was also going to be part of the Richmond extension.
St George's Circus
Line: City & Brixton Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
St George's Circus is a road junction in Southwark and was going to be a station on this awesome-sounding line.
St Katharine Docks
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
Basically it sounds like the whole of the DLR was once also going to be on the Jubilee Line.
Silvertown
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
A cool sounding name, this station would have been another Jubilee Line stop if the extension had happened.
South Morden
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1923
This is an unbuilt station that would have been on the Wimbledon and Sutton Railway but was replaced by Morden South and St Helier when the line was built.
Stroud Green
Line: Northern
Planned: 1935
Cancelled: 1954
Another one of those abandoned Northern Heights Project stations. We feel London would have had many more stations had that gone ahead.
Surrey Docks
Line: Fleet
Planned: 1971
Cancelled: 1989
Part of the original phase three of the Jubilee Line extension pans.
Surrey Docks North
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
This was also part of those plans we keep hearing about.
Sutton
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1923
This would have been a London, Brighton and South Coast station to which the Wimbledon and Sutton railway planned to extend.
It would have been useful for people who live all the way out in Sutton but work in Central London.
Sutton Common
Line: District
Planned: 1910
Cancelled: 1923
This would have also been part of that Wimbledon and Sutton extension plan but was later opened by Southern Railway.
The Grove
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
We can't get over the fact Richmond was going to be on the Central Line. This would have been one of the new stops.
Trafalgar Square
Line: Charing Cross and Waterloo Electric Railway
Planned: 1882
Cancelled: 1885
Very fancy! This was part of a proposal for line from Charing Cross to Waterloo, which would have been the first proposed to use electric traction.
Turnham Green
Line: Central
Planned: 1913
Cancelled: 1919
We need to stop talking about the Central Line extension. This stop would have been on it too.
Walthamstow Wood Street
Line: Victoria
Planned: 1955
Cancelled: 1961
This was the original planned terminus of the Victoria line before plans were modified to omit the last station and terminate at Walthamstow Central instead.
Walworth
Line: Bakerloo
Planned: 1931
Cancelled: 1950
This was part of the original extension plans to Camberwell. This could still happen!
Waterloo
Line: Piccadilly
Planned: 1965
Cancelled: 1967
As if Waterloo needs any more lines! It was part of that proposal for an extension of the line from Aldwych.
Watford Central
Line: Metropolitan
Planned: 1927
Cancelled: Unknown
This was part of an abandoned Metropolitan Line extension to Watford town centre.
Wapping
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
Hello Jubilee Line extension, my old friend. Wapping would have been on it too.
Waterloo
Line: Charing Cross and Waterloo Electric Railway
Planned: 1882
Cancelled: 1885
What's this, another unbuilt Waterloo station? It would have been part of that cool idea to built the first line using electric traction.
Wood Green
Line: Great Northern & Strand Railway
Planned: 1898
Cancelled: 1902
Part of a section of the Great Northern and Strand railway. It was cancelled when the line was merged with what is now the Piccadilly line. It would have had an interchange with the GNR's Wood Green station (now Alexandra Palace)
Woolwich Arsenal
Line: Jubilee
Planned: 1980
Cancelled: 1989
Victoria
Line: North West London Railway
Planned: 1899
Cancelled: 1908
A connection was planned to the District Line station, which is still in operation at Victoria today but unfortunately the rail company failed to raise enough funds to go through with the new station and then their permissions expired.
