There was an earlier loop at Charing Cross. You know .. the terminus
of the CCE&H.
To improve the interchange facilities at Charing Cross, the L.E.R.
Promoted a short extension of the Hampstead Tube under Villiers Street
to the Embankment, and work on this was begun in October 1911. The new
line took the form of a single loop under Embankment Gardens and the
fringe of the river from Cleopatra's Needle to Charing Cross Pier,
returning through a single platform built underneath the District
Railway Charing Cross station about 50 yards to the east of the Bakerloo
Embankment station. The District Railway station was rebuilt in
connection with this work to serve as an adequate exchange station for
the three railways.

Thanks Clive, most interesting. Was Charing Cross (later Strand) just
a two platform terminus prior to then ? I probably have it in a book
somewhere but not got that one
