Notes: All the early deep tube stations had elevators to get to and from the platforms, as escalator technology was still in development. Many were later converted, but some still have elevators, in this case four of them. Here in the boarding area, LIFT TO STREET signs are lit to indicate the two that are going up soon. In the foreground the passage cuts through the top of a platform tunnel.

Notes: The figure representing the 'Eros' statue appears in several places in the station in the appropriate line color. This area leads to both the Bakerloo and the Piccadilly Line, so it's in both colors, overlapping. Two signs at bottom give directions to 'British Rail' stations, 19 years after BR was abolished, and omit mention of the Hammersmith & City Line (for Moorgate) 23 years after it was made a separate line.
