About Turnpike Lane Underground Station
Turnpike Lane is a London Underground Station on the Piccadilly line.
The station was built as part of the Cockfosters extension to the Piccadilly line, and opened on 19 September 1932. It was the first Underground station to open in what was the Municipal Borough of Tottenham (now part of the London Borough of Haringey). During the planning period, two alternate names for this station were considered: North Harringay and Ducketts Green.
The station was designed by the architect Charles Holden and is a well-preserved example of his style. It was listed at Grade II in 1994. The high walls of the ticket hall contain segmented windows that allow natural light to shine far into the station. The effect in late afternoon light is akin to that in a cathedral transept.
Two of the street entrances (one shown in the photo below) originally gave access to the tram routes to and from Alexandra Palace. The tram services were withdrawn in 1938.
In May 2013, the government confirmed the station to be on its main consultation route for the Crossrail 2 proposal, to be on the New Southgate branch.
