There have been two stations on the London Underground network called Strand station, both sites are located close to Strand.
- The first was on the Piccadilly Line and was renamed Aldwych station in 1917 to allow a new station to be built with that name. Aldwych tube station was closed in 1994 but the surface building can still be prominently seen. The original name of "Strand station" is now the only station name visible on the exterior. See Aldwych tube station.
- The second station was a stop on the Northern Line which became Charing Cross tube station, when it reopened after merging with Trafalgar Square station on the Bakerloo Line and the new terminus of the Jubilee Line on May 1, 1979. The station previously called Charing Cross had previously been renamed Embankment to allow this to happen. See: Charing Cross tube station.
