Holborn Viaduct was a railway station in the City of London, providing local and commuter services.

Passenger services through the tunnel ceased in 1916, and consequently Holborn Viaduct became a terminal station for trains from the south.

Holborn Viaduct station became less used through the 20th century, serving a few local commuting services around southeast London and Kent.

The LCDR was suffering financial problems following the extravagant spending to build the line (which would plague the company for the rest of its lifespan), and was unable to raise capital to expand the station.

[8] Holborn Viaduct was well placed for this, as it was near the City and the mainline terminals along the New Road, yet also the nearest terminus to South London.

Local services carried on through the Snow Hill Tunnel to join the Metropolitan Railway's Widened Lines at Farringdon Street (now Farringdon), with a pair of low-level platforms just north of Holborn Viaduct to allow interchange with the main line services.

Opened on 1 August 1874, these platforms formed a small station named Snow Hill, which was renamed Holborn Viaduct Low Level on 1 May 1912.

[8] On 10 May 1886, St Paul's station opened further south on the LC&DR line, just to the north of Blackfriars Bridge.

[10] The line from Bickley to St Mary Cray was electrified in 1934, with an electric service between Holborn Viaduct and Sevenoaks starting the following year.

[12] The station was not directly damaged by any action in World War II, but the hotel was hit by a bomb on 26 October, and then destroyed by fire overnight on 10–11 May 1941.

A signal box to the south of the station, and a nearby bridge over Southwark Street, were destroyed by overnight bombing on 16–17 April 1941.

[18] In 1988, Snow Hill Tunnel was restored and passenger trains began running through as a north–south rail link through central London.
