Covent Garden London Underground Enamel Platform Sign
Covent Garden - Enamel London Underground platform roundel sign with original aluminium frame.
Vitreous enamel sign Circa 1960s with original mounting frame. Measures 61cm x 61cm. Condition: Superb, some small marks consistent with being in situ for decades.
Covent Garden lies in heart of London’s West End theatre and shopping district. The Covent Garden Underground Station, situated on the corner of Long Acre and James Street, opened in 1907 on the Great Northern, Piccadilly & Brompton Railway which quickly earned the nickname ‘Piccadilly Tube’ (later the Piccadilly line).
As with many of the GN,P&BR stations, the station building was designed by Leslie Green and still retains its distinctive oxblood exterior tiles to this day.
Covent Garden is one of the few stations where the platforms are only accessible by Lifts or stairs. In 1929, Covent Garden was nearly closed on account of its close proximity to other stations. Indeed, the journey between Leicester Square and Covent Garden takes only about 20 seconds, and measures only 260 metres (280 yd), the shortest distance between two adjacent stations on the Underground network.
