Westminster is on the Circle, District and Jubilee lines, at the corner of Bridge Street and Victoria Embankment. One entrance is within Portcullis House. Close by are the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square, Whitehall, Westminster Bridge and the London Eye.

The station under Big Ben

The District line platforms opened in 1868, and the deep Jubilee line platforms in 1999. Building them meant excavating a void 39 metres deep, the deepest ever excavation in central London, while the Elizabeth Tower, Big Ben's clock tower, stands only 34 metres from the edge of the station box. Steel tubes and grout injection held movement of the tower to an acceptable maximum of 35 millimetres.

To the London Eye

The London Eye is on the South Bank of the Thames, between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge, beside County Hall, and Westminster is one of the stations within easy walking distance of it. The wheel is on the South Bank, so from this side you cross Westminster Bridge. The nearest Tube station to the wheel is Waterloo, on the other side; see the Waterloo guide.

Checked against the English Wikipedia articles for the station and the sights on 7 October 2026. Stations are rebuilt and exits close for works, so follow the signs in the station as well.
