Description
Cockfosters London Regional Transport Station, including platforms and platform canopies, is a London Underground station built in 1933 and designed by Charles Holden. The station features brick and concrete entrance facades, with a concrete-framed train shed and booking hall topped with a flat roof. The main facade is single-storey, long, and low, featuring a central square-headed entrance flanked by horizontal windows with horizontal panes and metal glazing bars. There are end towerlets topped with London Underground sign finials and a cantilevered canopy that spans the entire width of the building. The booking hall has a 'prow' shape, while the train shed at the rear displays alternating wide and narrow bays within the concrete frame, which angles inwards above the platform canopies to create a clerestory above the central track. The station retains its original light fittings, signs, and other features.
