Wapping underground station 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 to the station is by lift or a flight of stairs.

Due to the extension of the East London line, and the use of longer trains, it was thought that Wapping station might have had to be closed when the line was extended. However on 16 August 2004 the Mayor of London announced that the station will stay open [1].
