Frederik van Eeden (also known by the shorthand Van Eeden) is an underground station in the Antwerp premetro network located in the Linkeroever suburb on the left bank of the river Scheldt.
In comparison to the other stations in the network, Van Eeden also lies relatively deep.
The design of the station differs from that of the earlier stations on the central Groenplaats-Opera axis, as the size of the entrance hall was reduced by about 50%, instead giving more space and a visual connection to the underlying platforms.
[3] On the western side, away from the River Scheldt and the downtown area, the station connects to the 442m long ramp on the Biancefloerlaan, allowing traffic in and out of the premetro network.
Also, due to its proximity to the river Scheldt, the station is equipped with large water pumping installations.
