Gubbängen metro station is on the Green Line (Line 18) of the Stockholm metro, located in Gubbängen, Söderort. The station was inaugurated on 1 October 1950 as part of the inaugural stretch of Stockholm metro between Slussen and Hökarängen.[2] The distance to Slussen is 6.7 km (4.2 mi).
The station was put into use on October 1, 1950, when the subway line Slussen–Hökarängen was inaugurated. Towards the south, the track is led on a viaduct over Gubbängsfältet.
The station has an outdoor platform along Lingvägen and Gubbängstorget. The entrance is reached via an underpass either from Herrhagsvägen or from Gubbängstorget / Knektvägen.
The artistic decoration consists of the work Guardians, two bronze sculptures by Ragnhild Alexandersson, from 1994.
