Above or Below Ground???
 

Is there somewhere online I can find out which tube stations are underground
and which are above ground? Or if not online, somewhere I can buy a book
with that information. It seems like an easy request, but my research hasn't
got me very far.

Is there somewhere online I can find out which tube stations are

and which are above ground?

Underground sections of deep tube lines (all sections are inclusive, i.e.
named stations are underground):

Bakerloo: Elephant to Kilburn Park
Central: Mile End to Shepherds Bush, also Wanstead to Gants Hill
Jubilee: Swiss Cottage to North Greenwich
Northern: South Wimbledon (via Bank or Charing Cross) to Highgate or
Hampstead
Piccadilly: Earls Court to Bounds Green, also Southgate, also Hatton Cross
to Hatton Cross via Heathrow. Whether Hounslow West is below ground is
debatable.
Victoria: all
Waterloo & City: both stations are in tunnel.

There are tunnels with no station in them between the following open-air
stations: between Stratford and Leyton, and between Hendon Central and
Colindale.

Between Hounslow West and Hatton Cross the trains are above ground briefly
to pass over the River Crane.

I'll let someone else do the 5 subsurface lines...

This is strictly to the best of my knowledge and off the top of my
head! Corrections welcome...

O - Overground
U - In a cutting between and adjacent to two sections of 'Cut and

They are far more subjective, depending on what constitutes 'above' or
'below'.

Several stations have platforms below street level, but a ceiling above
street level - e.g. Earls Court. Should the height of the roof, and whether
or not the cut is open make a difference? If so, then several stations are
by definition part underground, part overground, which is an unhappy
contradiction.

Additionally several stations were built in open cutting, but have since
been built upon - does this act change their status from 'above' to 'below'?

And if the presence of a building above defines a station as 'below', does
this mean that Canary Wharf DLR is underground?

Bakerloo Line
T Elephant & Castle - Kilburn Park
O Kilburn Park - Harrow & Wealdstone

The latter should, of course, be Queens Park - H&W.

T Heathrow T4 & Heathrow T123
C Hatton Cross - Hounslow West
O Uxbridge / Hounslow Central - Barons Court
T Earls Court - Bounds Green
O Arnos Grove
C Southgate
O Oakwood & Cockfosters

Southgate is deep tube, despite having open air visible down one of the
running tunnels.
Are you sure Hatton Cross is cut-and-cover? It's quite deep, and there would
be no obvious reason to cover it.

Metropolitan
O Uxbridge / Watford / Amersham / Chesham - Finchley Road
U Baker St.
C Great Portland St. - Kings Cross St Pancras
O Farringdon
U Barbican
C Moorgate
U Liverpool St. & Aldgate

Great Portland Street is open at one end.

C Stepney Green - Bow Road
O Bromley By Bow - Upminster
U High St. Kensington - Edgware Road

Isn't Blackfriars partly open?
Bow Road is half open.
IIRC Stepney Green has a small garden which is open to the air, on a disused
bay platform adjacent to the eastbound.

East London Line
O Shoreditch - Whitechapel
U Shadwell
C (T??) Wapping
C Rotherhithe - Canada Water
O Surrey Quays - New Cross / New Cross Gate.

I think the north end of Wapping might be open.

I think that, like many modern stations, it was built as an open box and
then roofed over. The running tunnels count as "T", but I suppose the
station itself is "C".

I'm not sure it is very deep, is it? I recall just stairs down to the
platforms - not even an escalator.

There is no building above Canary Wharf DLR station. There are
buildings next to it, but the only thing above it is the station roof.

Mile End is open just above the w/b Central platform.... it's where the
pigeons get in....
