Taking a moment to stop, step back, and look around inside some of London’s Underground stations will reveal a wonderful display of urban design. Recurrent architectural structures, an array of surfaces and an abundance of beautifully designed furniture, lighting and details all make London’s iconic 150-year-old transport system pretty special.

King’s Cross St Pancras Station

Cheating a little here, the impressive King’s Cross St Pancras serves both the Underground and National Rail. However, it is a favourite because of the sheer scale of the structure, both inside and out.

Gants Hill Station

Inspired by the Moscow Metro, if you find yourself in North East London, Zone 4, experience architect Charles Holden’s structure that sits underneath Gants Hill roundabout.
