The station is underneath the intersection of three roads: Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, Lorong 2 Toa Payoh and Lorong 6 Toa Payoh. Located within the town centre, it is integrated with the Toa Payoh Bus Interchange and the HDB Hub, headquarters of the Housing and Development Board. The station was first announced in May 1982. Construction of the station began in 1983 as part of Phase I of the MRT system. In August 1985, Toa Payoh was the first MRT station in Singapore to have its concrete structure completed. The station opened on 7 November 1987 and was one of the first MRT stations to operate in revenue service. The station has a bright yellow scheme (pictured) with a set of coloured tiles at the concourse level. It is also one of the few stations on the initial network to have a double-height ceiling.
