Tiled in biscuit-coloured tiles lined with green friezes. The station tunnels have a diameter of 7 metres. On 16 March 1976, this platform was the site of a Provisional IRA bombing, when a device exploded on an empty train as it prepared to enter a reversing siding just north of the station, before heading southbound to pick up football supporters at Arsenal. One passenger standing on the platform was injured by flying glass.
