The
Oxford Circus fire occurred on Friday 23 November 1984 at 9.50pm at
Oxford Circus station on the
London Underground. Oxford Circus station is in the heart of
London's shopping district and is served by three deep-level tube lines: the
Bakerloo line,
Central line and
Victoria line. The three lines are linked by a complex network of tunnels and cross-passages which all converge to a common booking hall situated beneath the junction of Oxford Street and Regent Street.
