Manor House station
Architect: Adams, Holden & Pearson (Charles Holden) 1932
Opening on 19 September 1932, this was the first station on the northern extension of the Piccadilly line beyond Finsbury Park.
The station has very little prominence at street level with only limited canopy structures over the park-side entrances. There were also originally subways that served now demolished tram loading shelters that stood in the middle of the road. The asymmetrical ticket hall was carefully designed so to make best use of space and Holden took great care in the details and finishes to features such as the central columns. The ceiling, decorated in a pattern of circular mouldings with inset lighting compliments the unusual shape of the ticket hall.
The platforms were lined to give an elliptical or egg shaped profile to enable the recessing of equipment and furniture to give clear lines of sight. The platforms tiles were originally made by Carter's Poole Potter{y} in Dorset and are similar to other adjacent stations apart from the different coloured border tiles - here they are blue. Also of note are the bronze ventilation grilles that depict a stylised play on the station name. These were designed by Harold Stabler R.D.I., a notable artist and designer, who was elected a "Royal Designer for Industry" in 1936 He was closely connected with the Poole Pottery.
In 2006 a modernisation of the station resulted in the platform wall tiles being sensitively replicated according to the original design. In addition the crude strip lighting that had disfigured the ticket hall ceiling was removed.

Turnpike Lane Station
Listed as a building of national significance
Architect: Charles Holden & Partners, 1932
Built as part of the 1932/33 Piccadilly line extension to Cockfosters from Finsbury Park, this station was designed to act as an interchange between trains, bus and tram. One now disused subway entrance used to allow access to a road island that formed a tram stop. The building is typical of the Holden 'brick box' style of station, here with tall, vertical ventilation towers that give a greater street presence. The ticket hall's high ceilings are exaggerated by the fact that the floor is several meters below street level. The fluted bronze uplighters are rare survivors and are typical of Holden's care and attention to design detail.
