Plaistow Underground Station
Plaistow Underground station is a London Underground station on Plaistow Road in Plaistow neighbourhood of the London Borough of Newham in east London. The station is on the District line and the Hammersmith & City line, and in London fare zone 3. The station was opened in 1858 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway on a new direct route from Fenchurch Street to Barking that avoided Stratford. The station was served by the District Railway from 1902, switching to electric services in 1905. The Fenchurch Street–Southend service was withdrawn from Plaistow and the platforms used by that service have been abandoned since 1962.
