Edgware Road Underground Station, London

There are two London tube stations called Edgware Road. This one was opened in June 1907 by the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway Company.

Designed by the mighty Leslie Green in the Arts and Crafts style with his distinctive ox-blood red glazed terracotta tiles. Green was the architect for stations on what are now the Bakerloo, Piccadilly and Northern lines.

These stations were some of the first buildings in London to use steel frames, a new structural technique just imported from America. All of Green's stations have flat roofs as the railway wanted to encourage offices to be built above them.
