Oval tube station in Kennington, London, England is about 500 metres from the Oval cricket ground, and is decorated inside with pictures of non-specific cricketers. It connects to the Northern Line, and is between Stockwell and Kennington. It is in Travelcard Zone 2. (Journeys from National Rail stations to Oval and Kennington via Waterloo are priced as if these destinations were in Travelcard Zone 1; the add-on amounts are called substandard fares by NR.)

From Oval tube station, buses travel to Brixton, Camberwell Green and other places.
Oval opened 18 December 1890.
After a long escalator refurbishment to the two escalators in 2003, during which access both onto and from the platform was given by a pair of spiral staircases, the escalators were briefly reopened. After about a week, one of the escalators was taken offline and is now undergoing maintenance again.
