Information
Type: Transport for London (London Underground Piccadilly Line)
Station code: ZHR
Opened: 1906
Platforms: 2

The station was opened by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway in 1906. The station was built with two lift shafts though only one was used for an actual lift, the other was used for an experimental spiral escalator though this was not a success and never entered service [1]. The station building was designed by Leslie Green.

After Arsenal Football Club moved to their present ground in 2006, Holloway Road became the station closest to the ground and not Arsenal station. However, as access between the surface and platform levels is via a lift and stairs only the station struggles to cope on match days and is made exit only.
