Following on from our walking tour of Charles Holden’s eastern extension Piccadilly Line stations, we will be holding a walking tour of some of the western extension Piccadilly Line stations on Saturday July 9th. This will coincide with the 85th anniversary of the opening of the influential Sudbury Town station on Monday 4th July.

Starting at Rayners Lane  and working our way along to Park Royal, we will be looking at some of Holden’s most iconic London Transport work. Taking in the stations of Rayners Lane, South Harrow, Sudbury Hill, Sudbury Town, Alperton and Park Royal, we will also visit the work of other modernist designers, such as Welch, Lander & Day, FE Bromige, Frederick Gibberd and Brian Lewis.
