Shoreditch is a London Underground station located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in East London. Shoreditch itself is located nearby in the London Borough of Hackney.
The station is in zone 2, and is the northern terminus of the East London Line. The next station along is Whitechapel. The service to Shoreditch is currently limited to rush-hours on weekdays and on Sunday mornings to service the nearby markets.
The line at Shoreditch is a single track running alongside the disused Bishopsgate Goods Yard. It used to connect to the mainline railway just north of the station for services to Liverpool Street station. Evidence of this connection can still be seen from the end of the platform.
When the East London Line extension is completed, the station will be closed and a new station to the west provisionally called Shoreditch High Street will be opened to replace it.
At least one other station has used the name Shoreditch: see Shoreditch railway station.
Shoreditch station is now open from 0700-1000 and 1530-2030 weekdays, 0715 till 1500 Sundays. The station is closed on Saturdays.
