Here is a list of abandoned stations in the NY system for those interested:

Well I think from memory it was a set that was used in the film, but they indicate on the tube map visible on screen that it should be where the abandoned Down Street actually is. They couldn't use Down Street as trains still pass through and the platforms are bricked up from the trains. If they had wanted an actual station it could have been done at Aldwych.
