St Paul's Tube Station began operations on 30 July 1900 for the Central London Railway. It was originally known as the Post Office Tube Station, as the General Post Office was nearby. It changed its name to St Paul's Tube Station in 1937, when the other station called St Paul's was renamed Blackfriars Tube Station. St Paul's Tube Station has its entrances at the junction of Newgate Street, Cheapside and St Martin's le Grand.
Among the sights in the vicinity of St Paul's Tube Station are the St Paul's Cathedral, a short distance to the south of it, along with the London Stock Exchange and the One New Change Shopping Centre.
