Moorgate Underground Station

Moorgate Underground Station is an underground station with a shop, built in 1900 by T Phillips Figgis. The building is constructed of red brick, featuring Portland stone dressings on the ground and upper floors, and has a slate roof. It stands six storeys high, with a four-storey return that includes a roof storey. The ground storey is stone-faced and features massive keyed segmental-headed arches, with the arches on the return elevation being blind. These arches contain the station entrance and shopfront.

The first, second, and third storeys have sash windows above continuous cill bands, with architraves and cornices; the windows on the first storey are keyed. The fourth and fifth storeys have sashes in eared architraves, beneath a deeply projecting plain cornice. The sixth storey features a gable end with pediment moulding that corresponds with the main cornice, and a central three-light window with attached colonettes to the mullions, along with a continuous cornice and a round window above.

The building includes a round corner tower designed as an oriel, which is supported by attached columns flanking the shop entrance, featuring plain square caps and a carved relief band instead of a cornice. The intermediate storeys have three-light leaded-light windows, while the fourth storey is rusticated stone with round-headed windows between attached columns supported by enriched corbels. The principal cornice is carved around the column caps, topped by a leaded dome. The ticket hall was remodelled in the 1930s, and the platforms have lost their original decoration. This station is noted for its particularly handsome design.
