Gants Hill is a London Underground station in the largely residential Gants Hill district of Ilford in east London. It is served by the Central line and is between Redbridge and Newbury Park stations on the Hainault loop. It is in Travelcard Zone 4. It is the easternmost station to be below ground on the London Underground network[8] and the busiest on the Hainault loop.[2]
The station ticket hall is located beneath Gants Hill roundabout and reached via pedestrian subways.[9] It opened on 14 December 1947 as an extension of the Central line to form the new phase of the Hainault loop. The station is known for its distinctive architecture featuring barrel-vaulted halls at platform level designed and created by Charles Holden.
