Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Alterations are currently underway at London's underground stations, in the cause of modernisation and improvement. Of the many architects employed by the various railway companies that made up the system in the early 20th century, two are considered outstanding: Leslie Green and Dr Charles Holden. The principal features of stations designed by these and several other noteworthy architects are outlined in this article. Changes that are now being made include re-tiling and refitting of platforms and ticket halls at some stations, and works to allow the installation of larger ticket machines. There has been concern about the impacts of the work on historically interesting stations from amenity societies and others. English Heritage (EH) has a role in considering stations for listing, and has completed a thorough survey of all the underground stations with a view to a balanced listing of the best surviving examples. However, listing is likely only to ensure proper treatment of the most important buildings. EH have therefore held discussions with London Underground in the hope of encouraging its management, architects, engineers and designers to recognise and respect the merits of all the best features of all the stations.
