Wapping is a London Underground station near Wapping in east London, England. It is in zone 2, and on the East London Line between Shadwell and Rotherhithe.
Opened in 1869, the station occupies the north end of the former Thames foot tunnel built by Marc Isambard Brunel between 1825-1843 and subsequently adapted for railway traffic. Access is by lift or a flight of stairs. Because of a lack of room to expand the platforms, it is likely that the station will have to close when longer trains begin running after the Northern Extension to the East London Line opens in 2006.
