Caledonian Road is a station on the Piccadilly Line of the London Underground.
It was opened on 15 December 1906 by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway.
The station continues to use lifts, never having been upgraded to escalators. Unusually for stations of its era, the lifts descend directly to platform level with no secondary staircases. In recent times this has meant that the station is now advertised as 'Step Free' on line maps without rebuilding work taking place. The station is a Grade II listed building.
The next southbound station from Caledonian Road was originally York Road. This station closed in 1932, but can still be seen from trains.
