Skanstull, formerly known as Ringvägen, is a station on the Green line of the Stockholm metro. It is situated in the district of Södermalm in central Stockholm, at the intersection of Ringvägen [sv] and Götgatan. The station has a single island platform, which is about 5 metres (16 ft) below the street, and has two ticket halls, with access from the junctions of Götgatan with Ringvägen and Allhelgonagatan [sv]. The distance to Slussen is 1.2 km (0.75 mi).
Skanstull is, along with Medborgarplatsen, the oldest underground station on the metro, actually predating that system by some years. The station lies in the Södertunneln [sv], a tunnel originally built in 1933 for use by routes 8 and 19 of the Stockholm tramway. On 1 October 1950, it became part of Stockholm's first metro line when the Södertunneln was adapted to become part of the line from Slussen south to Hökarängen, and the station was remodelled to full metro standard. Originally known as Ringvägen, the station took its current name when it reopened as part of the metro. The entrance at Allhelgonagatan was opened on 21 November 1957, the station was rebuilt in 2003–2004, and the platform was upgraded in 2009.
