SOUTH KENTISH TOWN

(1907-1924)

 

 

How the Underground map would look with the station open.

 


Another station closed through lack of use.
The imprints left by the station name tiles can be faintly seen on the white strip near the roof of the building.

The interior of one of the two lift shafts. The passageway seen through the grills is shown in the photo below.

The other side of the lift shafts. One side would have been entry, the other exit.

Leslie Green station buildings and the distinctive 'ring' tiling below ground are typical of many of the stations on the central sections of the Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines, as well as the Northern line stations between Euston and Hampstead/Archway.

One of the two passageways from the lift shafts crossing over the northbound platform. Or rather, crossing through it. The arches are actually the top section of the platform tunnel.

This photo precedes the two above by about three years. Notice that in the photos above the lick of paint that the arches have received for some reason (rust prevention?).

Taken from a point closer to the lift shafts than the ones above but facing away from it. The passageway turns left at the end and stairs descend down toward the platforms.

In common with the other disused deep level stations, the platforms have been removed.

This is the southbound platform looking north.

The height of the shaft is 25.50m. The ventilation system and the access stairs are visible.
