Farringdon (/ˈfærɪŋdən/) is an interchange station located in Clerkenwell, London, England, in the London Borough of Islington, just outside the boundary of the City of London for London Underground, Elizabeth line and National Rail services.
The station is served by the London Underground on the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines between King's Cross St Pancras and Barbican stations, the Elizabeth line between Tottenham Court Road and Liverpool Street stations, and the Thameslink route between St Pancras and City Thameslink.
Opened in 1863 as the terminus of the Metropolitan Railway, the world's first underground passenger railway, Farringdon is one of the oldest surviving underground railway stations in the world.
