The station opened on 4 November 1890 as the southern terminus of the City and South London Railway, the first successful deep-level tube in London.[note 1] The Victoria interchange opened on 23 July 1971 when that line was extended south from Victoria towards Brixton. The station is known for its World War II air-raid shelters, and for being the location of the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes.
