Exterior of Stepney Green station, LU District and Hammersmith & City Lines, on the north side of the busy Mile End Road in east London, on Saturday, 4th March 2023. It was opened on 2nd June 1902 by the Whitechapel & Bow Railway, which extended the District Line east to a connection with the LT&SR at Campbell Road junction, west of Bromley (now Bromley-by-Bow) and which was the nucleus by which District trains eventually reached Upminster. District trains also ran from Ealing Broadway to Southend-on-Sea via this route at one time, changing from District electric locomotives to LT&SR steam ones at Barking but this service ceased at the outbreak of WWII, never to be resumed.
