From the Wikipedia article

Gloucester Road () is a London Underground station in Kensington, West London. Its entrance is located close to the junction of Gloucester Road and Cromwell Road. Close by are the Cromwell Hospital and Baden-Powell House. The station is served by three lines: Circle, District and Piccadilly. On the District and Piccadilly lines, the station is between Earl's Court and South Kensington stations. On the Circle line, it is between South Kensington and High Street Kensington stations. It is in London fare zone 1. The station is in two parts: sub-surface platforms, opened in 1868 by the Metropolitan Railway as part of the company's extension of the Inner Circle route from Paddington to South Kensington and to Westminster; and deep-level platforms opened in 1906 by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway. A variety of underground and main line services have operated over the sub-surface tracks. The deep-level platforms have remained largely unaltered with lift access. A disused sub-surface platform features periodic art installations as part of Transport for London's Art on the Underground scheme. The station building is Grade II listed.
