Charles Holden and Bucknell and Ellis

N2 0NW

Northern Line station situated awkwardly on a viaduct next to the Great North Road. Originally designed by Leonard Bucknell and Ruth Ellis, the scheme was revised by Charles Holden with construction beginning in 1939 and finally completed in 1942. From street level the exterior doesn’t have the visual clarity of earlier 1930s stations, with too many ideas not cohering. However from platform level the station is more interesting, featuring glass staircase towers, a set of offices bridging the tracks and a metal statue of an archer by Eric Aumonier.
