East Finchley Station, High Road, Finchley, Greater London
East Finchley Station was the terminus of the Northern Line. It was opened in 1939 for Underground trains. It is on the site of the former Edgware, Highgate and London station which itself was opened in 1867. It was a large undertaking, designed to form a turnaround point and thus needing canteen and train crew facilities. Both Charles Holden and L H Bucknell worked on the station. It has some interesting features, which make it stand out as the last major Holden station of the 1930s. The powerful figure of the 'Archer', aiming in the direction of London, symbolizes the rapid transit of modern electric trains and is the most distinctive feature of the station.
