Turned down since it was felt that a thorough refurbishment a decade ago had reduced its merit. The building would also need extensive refurbishments in the future. Islington Council has given permission to demolish and replace the building with another school and a residential block.

This is one of only two London Underground stations remaining with a nearly complete set of 1930s ‘Stabler tiles’ at platform level that show images of London and armorial bearings of the counties served by LPTB. The station is an impressive achievement of engineering of its time, and is of an austere charm with many original details surviving. We have resubmitted the station for listing since English Heritage’s report did not take into account a report by the Transport Museum on the engineering aspect and await the outcome.
