Eastcote London Regional Transport Underground Station And Adjoining Shops, Including Platforms

Eastcote London Regional Transport Underground Station and adjoining shops, including platforms, is a London Underground station designed in 1936 by Charles Holden, although it did not open until 1939. The station features reinforced concrete post and lintel construction, which is exposed at platform level, with red and grey brick diaper infill, much of which is loadbearing. It has flat concrete roof slabs that are treated as a broad cornice band under deep eaves, creating a symmetrical composition on the bridge.

The main entrance is double and located between single-storey shops with curved frontages, leading into a square double-height ticket hall. At the rear, there is a single-storey passage from which stairs descend to the integral platforms, enclosed by stepped structures with clerestorey glazing. The platform buildings are set back under deep canopies with clerestorey glazing, and at their ends, there are curved waiting rooms.

Notable features include original bronzed glazing and a curved door to 'The Bakery', a kiosk located west of the entrance. The fenestration of the other shops has been altered. Above both entrances are impaled open roundels with original signage reading 'UndergrounD'. The remaining station glazing is metal with a horizontal emphasis. The ticket hall has full-height tripartite glazing at the front and back, along with a circular top-light in the exposed concrete ceiling, and is clad in black tiles at ground floor level. The piers on the platforms are covered with small, square, brown tiles.

Original clocks on both platforms display Roman numerals, and the doors to the waiting rooms, along with their original glazing, remain intact, although the horizontal bars have been removed. This station is included as a complete and unique example of Holden's later evolution of the Sudbury Town style, which is lighter and more Scandinavian in feel compared to earlier versions.
