History
The Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway was formed in 1902, following a merger of the the Brompton and Piccadilly Circus Railway and the Great Northern and Strand Railway. The company was a subsidiary of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London Limited. The underground line was opened in 1906, running between Hammersmith and Finsbury Park, today forming the central part of the Piccadilly line.
