Name: Cockfosters Station
Date: 1933
Architect: Charles Holden
Lines: Piccadilly
Borough: Enfield
Listing: Grade II
Notes: The end of the eastern Piccadilly line extension, originally planned as a much grander terminus style building, with towers either side of the road. As it is, Cockfosters is one of Holden's stations where the beauty is underground, much like Gants Hill. The station opened on July 31 1933, and features a long low above ground station building, with an subway entrance opposite. The ticket hall and platform areas are often likened to a church, due to the long nave like shape and clerestory windows.The use of plain concrete also points the way to postwar architectural styles such as brutalism.
