Old Street station is a London Underground and National Rail station just north of the City of London financial district of London, lying on the border between Islington and Hackney. The station is in Travelcard Zone 1.

The station is on the Bank branch of London Underground's Northern Line, between Moorgate and Angel stations. It is also on National Rail's Northern City Line, operated by WAGN, between Moorgate and Essex Road stations. Both the London Underground and National Rail lines are in deep-level "tube" tunnels in this point.

Above ground the station is situated under the eastern edge of the busy Old Street roundabout, where Old Street crosses City Road. There is no ground-level station frontage, access being by ramps and stairs to a modern station entrance which is part of a small shopping parade beneath the roundabout. There is no sign of the original ground-level buildings of this station.
