Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Courtesy of the Islington Archaeology & History Society I've just found out why Highbury and Islington Station looks so nondescript.

It was opened as a grand station in 1872. After being twice hit by bombs in the war, it ended its life as a storage space before being demolished during the construction of the Victoria Line. 

Ooda thunk! Thanks IAHS.

Looks like StPancras' poor cousin.

The area around Highbury & Islington tube station is a disgrace. I doubt any of us will live long enough to see it being improved in any meaningful way.
