Piccadilly Line Tour: Turnpike Lane to Cockfosters- Saturday 12th May at 10.30am.
To celebrate the anniversaries of Charles Holden’s birth on May 12th and 85 years since some of these stations opened, we will be holding our popular Piccadilly Line tour again.

Taking in the stations of Turnpike Lane, Wood Green, Bounds Green, Arnos Grove, Southgate and Cockfosters, we will also note other modernist buildings along the way, such as Curtis and Burchetts work for Middlesex County Council.
The tour will be limited to 25 people, so book early! The route will be a mixture of walking and tube, so please bring a topped up Oyster card/Contactless credit or debit card and a pair of comfortable walking shoes, plus any refreshments you may need.
