The 'Thin Air' episode of the BBC drama 'Waking The
Dead', filmed circa 2003. The cast are emerging from the northbound
tunnel at the southern end of the station.

Either side of the high level station were tunnels,
although the station itself was on the surface, deep in a cutting
by the side of Archway Road.
This is looking south at the tunnels on the Crouch End side,
the photo preceding the one above by at least 22 years.

Showing the southbound platform, although the island
arrangement can be (just) made out.
The station is normally thick with trees and shrubs.

deep level on the left.

View southwards from inside the waiting room through
glass-less window frames.

The steps leading down to the booking office (visible
at the bottom of the steps). Designed to serve two lines, it
only handles the Northern Line passengers now. This access to
the high-level station was removed from public view, when the
sub-ground ticket office was rebuilt.

|
The same staircase but looking upwards. The fixing
hooks for the handrails can be seen on either wall.

|
The northbound platform, looking south. Ventilation
shaft from the deep level is on the right.

The southbound platform looking north. The imprint
of one of London Transport's station name roundels is half visible
on the far left.

The tunnels at the northern end of the station.

Evidence of the incomplete electrification of the
line: the cable brackets on the tunnel wall.
