St Paul's is a London Underground station located in the City of London financial district. The station, which takes its name from the nearby St Paul's Cathedral, is on the Central line between Chancery Lane and Bank stations. It is in Travelcard Zone 1.
It should not be confused with the former St. Paul's Thameslink railway station, a Thameslink railway station which opened in 1990, but has some distance from the Underground station. That station was subsequently renamed City Thameslink after one year, to avoid confusion for the emergency services. But for some years afterwards, many maps and guidebooks in circulation continued to carry the earlier name.
