Wood Green Tube Station gets a Grade II listing from English Heritage
Thanks to Lesley (@HornseyN8) for this news that Wood Green tube is amongst 16 tube stations to receive Grade II listing by English Heritage.
They include several of the tube stations designed by Leslie Green whose 'ox-blood' red tile facades pioneered the use of a strong and consistent corporate image which is recognised around the world. All the stations have historic and architectural significance, illustrating the development of the capital's Underground system.

Full list of listed tube stations:
Aldwych, Belsize Park, Brent Cross, Caledonian Road, Chalk Farm, Chesham, Covent Garden, Hendon Central, Oxford Circus - originally two separate stations (on the north-west corner of Argyll St and Oxford Street, and the north-east corner of Argyll St and Oxford Street including the office above), Perivale, Redbridge, Russell Square, St John's Wood, West Acton, and Wood Green.

wot no Holloway Road? That also has beautiful tiles and lettering, though it's green not red.
I lament the lost opportunity at Finsbury park - now they have re-tiled the stairways in bogstandard bathroom square white tiles. As the work and hassle must have been the major cost, it's such a shame that it was done down to a price. Who has the vision for 100-year projects and budgets any more?

I would have included all the stations on the Piccadilly line.
