[edit] History
Until a last minute decision was made in 1961, it had been intended to build the Victoria Line past Walthamstow Central station to Wood Street, where the line would surface to terminate next to the British Railways station, on land previously used as a coal depot. Typical journey times are 7 minutes to Chingford and 19 minutes to London Liverpool Street.[citation needed]. There were previously bike racks but they were removed at some point. David Beckham is known to have used used the station in his youth, he is reported to have visited the nearby Hollow Ponds often to play football.
