Bromley-By-Bow station was chosen as it mimics the fictional Eastenders’ Walford East station. Dyer currently plays Mick Carter, landlord of the Queen Vic pub, on the show.

The announcements warn travellers of travelling without a ticket and dodging the barriers.

Sandra Anderson, manager of Bromley-By-Bow station, said: "Our station is at the heart of the East End and it is fantastic that, as part of EastEnders' 30th anniversary, our customers will be able to hear one of the most recognisable voices from the show telling them that there is a 'right pukka' service on the District Line."

The 30th anniversary will climax with a live broadcast episode, which will be screened on Friday (20 February). Transport for London previously partnered with other famous voices such as Stephen Fry, Terry Wogan and Joanna Lumley .
