The station had a low island platform with one track on each side.

What's left today:
Not much of the station or the tunnels are left. The Strand Underpass that was built in 1964 now occupies the site. However the site is reachable from the Southampton Row Ramp. Otherwise the station site has been lost under the Strand Underpass ramp leading back up to Kingsway.
