Christie Station opened on February 25, 1966, as part of the western extension of the Bloor–Danforth line. Set into the slope of Bloor Street just west of Christie Street, the station has a compact, slightly sunken presence, with simple surface entrances that blend into the surrounding storefronts. Inside, it carries the unmistakable feel of 1960s TTC design—muted tiles, tight stairwells, and a layout shaped by the narrow right-of-way beneath Bloor. The platforms sit close to the street above, creating an enclosed, almost acoustically dense atmosphere.
What defines Christie is the character of the neighbourhood around it. Steps from the station, Christie Pits Park opens up into a wide green basin, a sharp contrast to the tight geometry underground. To the west, Bloorcourt’s mix of small shops and cafés gives the area a steady, lived-in rhythm, while just east begins Koreatown, with its dense run of restaurants and storefronts. Christie Station sits quietly at the center of these overlapping zones—an unassuming conduit between parkland, neighbourhood life, and the steady pulse of Bloor Street.
