Boston Manor tube station

Designed by architect Charles Holden, the Art Deco styled structure features a tall tower which acts as a landmark of the area.

[7] Boston Manor dates back to the 1170s as "Bordwadestone", which referred to Bord's tun, or farm, by the stone.

[9][10] Boston Manor was initially opened by the DR on 1 May 1883 as part of an extension from Mill Hill Park to Hounslow Town.

It was a red brick building with an enamel pecked half roundel attached to the arched window space above the booking office entrance.

The fretted wooden awnings at the platform remain intact, with the canopy pillars painted black and yellow.

Inspired by contemporary Dutch and German architecture, the distinctive tower functions as a landmark within the low-height suburban residential area.

[29] The upper stages of the tower are fitted with a vertical strip of glass bricks which is part of a lighting feature.

[6][27] The station, architecturally noted for Holden's Art Deco design, was granted Grade II Listed status on 21 March 2002.

[6] On 9 January 2013, the station appeared on a British postage stamp as part of a set commemorating the 150th anniversary of the first London underground train journey.

This labyrinth puzzle is part of the Woodcut family, installed at the top of the stairs leading to eastbound Platform 2, next to a booking office window.

[34] Just to the west of the station, Piccadilly line trains can enter or exit the Northfields depot via crossovers.
