Which London Underground station is the only one with a direct interchange between the Bakerloo and Victoria lines?

The story behind the answer

Oxford Circus is the London Underground station with a direct interchange between the Bakerloo and Victoria lines.

The station serves one of London’s busiest shopping and business areas, where Regent Street meets Oxford Street. It opened in stages: the Bakerloo platforms began service in 1906, while the Victoria line platforms opened in 1969. Their connection allows passengers to change between the two lines without leaving the Underground system.

Oxford Circus is also a major interchange because the Central line serves it. That combination makes the station one of the most heavily used points on the Tube network, particularly during shopping hours and weekday commuting periods.

Piccadilly Circus is nearby but is served by the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines, not the Victoria line. Warren Street connects the Northern and Victoria lines, making it another possible source of confusion.
