Description: | This is an architect's drawing of East Barnet Underground station, part of the Southgate extension on the Piccadilly line. A classic Charles Holden design, it shows the front and end exterior elevations of the station. The roundel symbol is incorporated into the front window design.
The station was initially referred to as East Barnet, but by the time it was completed it had been renamed Enfield West. It was thought that the main source of traffic would be Enfield, even though the station is nearer to Barnet. The station was later given its present name of Oakwood.
High-volume traffic was anticipated because of the new local housing developments, hence the large-scale design and provision for retail outlets. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Publisher : London Electric Railway | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
