One of the many stations designed for the Piccadilly Line by Charles Holden in the 1930's. The steel-framed windows and the lofty tower are typical. To the left of the tower there's a residential range which was not part of the original composition. It seems to be the upper storey of a row of shops, added later. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3003113 The little boxy extension to the right of the tower can't be Holden's either. Photo taken on a rather sunless day in late March.
