Name: Arnos Grove Station
Date: 1932
Architect: Charles Holden
Lines: Piccadilly
Borough: Enfield
Listing: Grade II*
Notes: Arnos Grove station is considered by many to be Holden's masterpiece and one of the best modernist buildings of the 20th century. It is formed of a circular booking hall on a square base, which aids passenger flow and creates an impressive interior space. A single concrete pillar supports the roof, with the original passimeter ticket office at the base. The booking hall also features original wooden telephone booths, which were restored in 2000. Holden's influence for his design here may have been Stockholm City Library, designed by Gunnar Aspland and visited by Pick and Holden on their 1930 trip.
