{{London Overground Windrush Line |width=360px |collapse=show }}

'''Shadwell''' is a station on the [[Windrush line]] of the [[London Overground]], located in [[Shadwell]], [[East London]]. The station is between [[Whitechapel station]] to the north and {{Stnlnk|Wapping}} to the south, in [[List of stations in London fare zone 2|London fare zone 2]]. Both platforms, which are located underground, are decorated with enamel panels designed by Sarah McMenemy<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sarahmcmenemy.com |title=Illustrator |publisher=Sarah McMenemy |access-date=2013-05-28}}</ref> in 1995.

Shadwell was formerly a [[London Underground]] station on the [[East London Line#The London Underground era|East London line]] until 2007, when the [[East London line extension]] project converted the station to Overground operation. There is an official [[out-of-station interchange]] with [[Shadwell DLR station]] on the [[Docklands Light Railway]], located {{convert|60|m|ft}} walk away.

==History==
===London Underground===
The original station was opened in the [[parish]] of [[Stepney (parish)|Stepney]] and was one of the oldest on the network, and was built over a spring. First opened by the [[East London Railway]] on 10 April 1876, it was first served by the [[District Railway]] and [[Metropolitan Railway]] on 1 October 1884. It was renamed ''Shadwell & St. George-in-the-East'' on 1 July 1900, but reverted to its original name in 1918. A new ticket hall was built on Cable Street in 1983, replacing the original building in Watney Street, which was demolished in May 2010. Access to the station platforms was through lifts or stairs. The station was closed between 1995 and 1998, owing to repair work on the [[East London line]]'s [[Thames Tunnel]]. The typical off-peak East London line service from the station was:

*9 tph to {{stl|London Underground|Whitechapel}}
*5 tph to {{Stnlnk|New Cross}}
*4 tph to {{Stnlnk|New Cross Gate}}

===London Overground===
The station closed on 22 December 2007; it reopened on 27 April 2010 for a preview service to {{Stnlink|New Cross}} and {{Stnlnk|New Cross Gate}}, and from 23 May 2010, the latter service was extended to [[West Croydon station|West Croydon]] / {{Stnlnk|Crystal Palace}}, operated within the [[London Overground]] network.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/election_2010/england/8621211.stm |title=East London Line reopening dubbed 'political stunt' |publisher=BBC News |date=2010-04-14 |access-date=2013-05-28}}</ref> A new gated northern access fronting Cornwall Street has been added, easing interchange with [[Shadwell DLR station]], while the rest of the station has been heavily refurbished.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.londonreconnections.com/2010/ell-in-pictures-shadwell-shoreditch-hoxton-haggerston-and-dalston-junction |title=London Reconnections: ELL in Pictures: Shadwell, Shoreditch, Hoxton, Haggerston and Dalston Junction |date=16 March 2010 |publisher=Londonreconnections.blogspot.com |access-date=2013-05-28}}</ref>
