Bounds Green
Exterior of Bounds Green, Piccadilly Line, on the scorching morning of Saturday, 9th July 2022, two months short of the station's 90th birthday, seen from the upstairs side windows of a number 221 bus to Edgware. This station opened with the first stage of the Cockfosters extension from Finsbury Park to Arnos Grove on 19th September 1932. Like the other stations on the extension, which reached Cockfosters the following year, Bounds Green was designed by Dr. Charles Holden (1875-1960), the London Underground's Chief Architect between the two world wars. On the right, waiting at the traffic lights, is a single decker WVS bus on TfL route 299 from Cockfosters to Muswell Hill.
