Tottenham Court Road
North bound Northern Line platform - all that's left of the Paolozzi murals on that platform. The rest is concrete rendering. Very different style to the incredibly colourful Central Line platform mosaics.
Eduardo Paolozzi designed mosaic murals throughout Tottenham Court Road tube station inspired by the electronics and record shops that were the main businesses on TCR in the 1980s. TCR is currently doubling in size with the development of the Crossrail project and some of these murals have been removed as the walls are changed.
Next time I go through I'll try to get some of the really amazing bits - the arches over the escalators or the circular lobby at the bottom where the corridors disappear off in different directions.
