Leytonstone Tube Station
The Leytonstone Tube Station is on the northeastern part of Greater London. It is located off Church Lane, close to the A12 Motorway. It is at Travelcard Zones 3 and 4.
The Leytonstone Tube Station first opened in 1856, for the Eastern Counties Railway. It was first served by the Central Line of 5 May, 1947, at that time serving as the temporary terminus until the line was extended to Woodford and Newbury Park.
The station carries a series of mosaics that document the life and works of famous movie director Alfred Hitchcock. The artwork was created to commemorate the centenary of Hitchcock's birth on 13 August, 1899. It was unveiled on 3 May, 2011.
