Uplight / Turnpike Lane LT Underground Station, London, UK
The 1930's Art Deco platform level concourse at Turnpike Lane LT Underground Station, one of a series of images I have been re-processing for my webpage.
The station was designed by the architect Charles Holden and is a well-preserved example of the modernist house style of London Transport in the 1930s. It was listed at Grade II in 1994. The ticket hall is an enormous brick box, with two large ventilation towers, half-sunk into the surrounding ground. Its high walls contain segmented windows that allow natural light to shine far into the station. The effect in late afternoon light is akin to that in a cathedral transept.
It's on the Piccadilly Line, and is part of an extension to Cockfosters built in the 1930's.
