Arsenal

Arsenal is a station on the City line in Travelcard Zone 2. It is on The City Line between Stadium and North End. It is one of 3 stations that serves the neighbourhood of uptown.

History
Arsenal opened a little bit later than the rest of the line from North End-Chalk Farm. It opened in 1907 with the name Gillespie Road. It served the nearby Emirates Stadium, and overcrowding became a serious problem on match days. So in 1933, the station needed to have its ticket hall rebuilt. At this time, the owner of Arsenal asked TFS for the station to be renamed Arsenal after the football club. They agreed. For a short time, it was only open on match days however that has since changed.
