BOUNDS GREEN Piccadilly line
some Tube history from LONDON TUBE RAMBLES
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 modernist style with a hexagonal ticket hall that is unique on the Underground network. There are also 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 a number of people. A plaque at the north end of the west bound platform records this dreadful event. Details here.
