Arnos Grove tube station, London Underground station
Arnos Grove is a London Underground station on the Piccadilly Line, located at ground level in the London Borough of Enfield. Its distinctive circular brick ticket hall opened in 1932 and includes four platforms serving connections between north London suburbs and central destinations.
The station opened in 1932 as the northern extension of the Piccadilly Line brought transport to growing suburbs. During World War Two a bomb damaged the building, but it was repaired and later refurbished in 2005 while retaining its original character.
The station takes its name from nearby Arnos Park, which once formed part of local estates in the area. This connection to the park reflects how the neighborhood developed from rural land into a residential community served by modern transport.
The station is easily reached by several bus routes and sits near main roads for straightforward access. Being at ground level means you can walk in and out without navigating underground passages or climbing many stairs.
The station was designed by Charles Holden, whose circular design was inspired by Swedish plans but also considered traditional local buildings. This blend of modern and traditional elements gives it a different appearance from many other London stations.
