The sub-surface areas of this station were tiled in biscuit coloured tiles lined with blue friezes. These were refurbished in 2005. The station tunnels have, in common with those of Turnpike Lane and Wood Green, a diameter of 7 metres and were designed for the greater volume of traffic expected. In contrast, Bounds Green and Southgate have only 6.4 metre diameter platform tunnels. The construction of "suicide pits" between the rails was at the time innovative. These were built in connection with a system of passageways under the platforms to give access to the track.
