Gants Hill is the only station to be entirely underground. (If you don’t know what I mean is that it doesn’t have a building where you can get to the train by walking in and going down escalators.) I believe the three Heathrows are the same, as are Bank and Notting Hill Gate. Any idea which is the oldest station in that configuration? |

Pretty sure Marble Arch and Hyde Park Corner are other examples. Marble Arch yes Hyde Park Corner hasn't got a surface building Hyde Park Corner is not using its original building the station building ( and emergency access) is the pizza restaurant (look at the style of building) |

I'd suggest 'Bank' as NHG until the redevelopment of the area in the 60s, there were two separate stations, interchange was by leaving one, crossing the road to enter the other. Attached is NHG Central Line as was, was on the northern side of the road, demolished when the road was widened.(Not my photo) Download Attachment |

Euston and Shoreditch High Street are the only Zone 1 stations on the Overground network. (I know Hoxton is also in Zone 1 but it doesn’t count because it’s also in Zone 2. Or does it? I don’t know. You lot decide).

More Overground trivia.
The Piccadilly and the W&C lines are the only Underground lines where you can’t directly change to the Overground. The nearest Overground stations that are on the Piccadilly lines are:
HGL for Manor House
H&I for Finsbury Park
Euston for Kings Cross
and finally Acton Town for South Acton.

Subject to any corrections;
South Wimbledon is the most southern tube station with fully underground platforms
Southgate Station is the only 'deep level' tube station where you can see the end of the tunnel (Heathrow direction) into natural daylight
Mile End station is the only fully¹ underground station where a deep level tube (Central) and non-deep level tube (District) with their respective platforms at the same level next to each other.
¹ - not sure if there's any daylight shining into the station

Whitechapel is the only station where the Overground stops above the Underground. You’ve got it the wrong way round. The overground platforms are BELOW the underground ones |
