Name: Southgate Station
Date: 1933
Architect: Charles Holden
Lines: Piccadilly
Borough: Enfield
Listing: Grade II*
Notes: One of Holden's most distinctive stations, Southgate is a low circular structure, often compared to a UFO. The station opened on March 13 1933, along with Oakwood. The roof tapers to a point, and is topped with five circular lights, that slide open and shut, with a ball on top. Inside, as at Arnos Grove a single concrete pole supports the roof, with a passimeter at the base. Like Turnpike Lane, there is an integrated bus station, with a long curved parade, allowing buses to circulate into the station from the road. The exterior also features the wonderful masts which were designed to combine lighting, seating and timetables.
