BOUNDS GREEN Piccadilly line
Quick visit
Although this is a perfectly pleasant area, with lots of small semi-detached Victorian houses, I would say that it is only worth visiting if you are interested in Tube history. The station is classic 1930’s Charles Holden with some glorious large deco floor lamps. It had to be partially rebuilt after a bomb penetrated the tunnel in October 1940 wrecking a platform and killing nineteen people. A plaque at one end of the Southbound platform records this
dreadful event.
