The District line Twitter account said: "Fulham Broadway station - Closed while we respond to a security alert."
Fulham Broadway station is just one stop from Parsons Green station, where 29 people were injured in a terror attack yesterday.
Police have arrested an 18-year-old man in Dover in connection with the bomb attack.
The improvised bucket bomb detonated at Parsons Green at 8.20am on Friday morning.
Prime Minister Theresa May raised the national terror threat level from sever to crucial yesterday.
She said: “The Joint Terrorism and Analysis Centre, the independent organisation responsible for setting the threat level on the basis of available intelligence, has now decided to raise it from severe to critical.”
The Parsons Greens terror attack was the fifth major terror attack in Britain this year.
The station had reopened by Saturday morning.
