[13] Wood Lane Underground Station was designed by Ian Ritchie Architects and it is clad in shot-peened stainless steel, gold anodised aluminium and granite with a 25-metre-high glass screen façade.

The structure encases the railway viaduct and platforms are accessed via stairs and lifts either side of the brick arches.
