The station, which opened in 1966, is located west of Sherbourne Street on the south side of Bloor Street East. The station primarily serves the St. James Town neighbourhood and the southern portion of Rosedale. In December 2021, this station became an accessible subway station after undergoing renovations that began in August 2019.

Entrances

The primary entrance is located on the Sherbourne Street side of the office building at 425 Bloor Street East. An unstaffed second entrance to the east end of the platforms is on Glen Road, a small side street which runs north off Howard Street from the densely populated St. James Town. A pedestrian tunnel under Bloor Street and a footbridge across Rosedale Valley Road provide access to this entrance from Rosedale to the north.

Former photo ID centre

Sherbourne station previously housed the TTC Photo ID Centre. The TTC photographic team now visits most participating colleges and universities at the beginning of each academic year, and the post-secondary student monthly pass is now available only available via the Presto card. In August 2020, the Photo ID Centre at Sherbourne station was permanently closed and relocated to Bathurst station.

Artwork

In 2019, the artwork titled The Whole is Greater than the Sum of its Parts by Rebecca Bayer was installed as panels at various locations in the station at the platform and concourse levels. Using custom ceramic tiles, the panels consist of colourful mosaics arranged in geometric, triangular patterns. According to the TTC's Public Art page: "Sherbourne station is an important transit hub for the multicultural neighbourhoods it serves and this artwork intends to reaffirm the station as a shared place where the wider community interacts daily."

Subway infrastructure in the vicinity

This is the only station that was located south of Bloor Street on the original 1966 line. Sherbourne is also uniquely deep underground, which required a 2250 ft section of the tunnel to be bored, rather than constructed using the shallow cut-and-cover method used for most of the line, west to Bloor–Yonge station.

East of the station, the line crosses back under Bloor Street to the north side. It emerges from the tunnel to cross the Rosedale Ravine on a curving covered concrete bridge, Sherbourne TTC tunnel to Yonge.JPG|Bored tunnel towards Yonge station Rosedale Valley TTC bridge.JPG|Covered bridge over Rosedale Valley Road
