Name: Turnpike Lane Station
Date: 1932
Architect: Charles Holden
Lines: Piccadilly
Borough: Haringey
Listing: Grade II
Notes: Turnpike Lane opened on 19th September 1932, the same day as Manor House, Wood Green, Bounds Green and Arnos Grove. The station building is formed of a large square, constructed in brick, with two ventilation towers. The ticket hall is sunken, allowing access from the various pedestrian tunnels.
The original design featured a bus station and tram stops, part of Frank Pick’s vision of having an integrated transport network that serves as a civic hub. Indeed Turnpike Lane was Pick’s favourite underground station due to the success of the design in integrating the different transport elements. The bus station was refurbished in the late 1990’s by the Rogers Partnership.
