This list of depots and Stabling Points (SP) has been compiled using a combination of information from the book: London Rail - A Guide to TfL's Depots and Stabling Points by Paul Jordan & Paul Smith (9781908347350) - 2015 and from Wikipedia, Google maps and this website: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/track_map_london_undergound#incoming-438758 (Scroll down to the attached PDF)
There may some errors, so if you know of any corrections that need to be made, please use the Contact us page.
Where there is a number followed by a letter T (eg 4T), this refers to the number of tracks (roads) within a building and some of the directions listed can only be accessed by trained staff who hold a lineside track pass, so may not be accessible by members of the public. All depots are only accessed by authorised staff, but where something can be visible from a safe public place, this has been indicated.
