The Queen, who had been suffering symptoms of gastroenteritis, has been carrying out her duties within Buckingham Palace but last week cancelled a trip to London's East End to visit Tech City.
The Duke of York, who carried out the engagement without his mother, said she was "not ill" but stayed at home as precaution.
The Queen's last visit to the underground was in 2010
The last time she was seen at an official event was an engagement last Monday evening when she signed the Commonwealth's new charter.
The Queen last visited a Tube station in February 2010, when she travelled to Aldgate station to meet staff and view a memorial plaque dedicated to the seven people killed at Aldgate during the July 7, 2005 bombings.
