Archway

Thank you so much to the wonderful caring man in the staff kiosk in Archway underground station who assisted me this afternoon about 1.40 and let me sit down ( Sunday 1st Feb) when I felt unwell and had worrying heart palpitations. Thank you for checking my oyster card was ok too. Excellent staff member, ( my apologies I did not ask name) Thanks Dan

Just a normal London underground station that is served by the Northern line. There is two entrances to this station and the ticket hall area is a average size there is no disabled access to the platforms only escalators and stairs the station was clean and tidy.

I will give it four stars just for being there. A place that has been a part of my life for more many years that I seldom use because I live just one stop away, and it is easier to get the bus. Archway has a bewildering number of Bus stops, 8 on the old roundabout turned elbow. The Tube station design wise, it draws a complete blank. An underground that's doubly underground shrouded by Archway Towers, a Premier Inn and a whole tier of spruced up seventies' architecture, with some new build, a big food M&S, still you can be in the centre of town in ten minutes or the City. Outside, well I don't know where to start, I suppose calling it an architectural pastiche is about the kindest thing, the whole sixties seventies modernist bit around and under the station would make a well known Royal wilt. A Victorian shopping parade, and post-war council estates abut the junction East and West, Kebabs and coffee, groceries, you get the picture. Archway, cross roads that burrows into Highgate Hill an out again to Barnet, MillHill East via the spur at East finchley and via Charring cross South across the river. The image I made on my old desk top using Photshop. I think it suits a screen grab would work but sadly bland, besides I like putting my own stuff up. I might do an abstract of the tube interior if I can remember to take a shot next time I am down there.

The station is very nice and clean. The deep green tiling is a nice addition to the station, and up and down escalators. There is also a nice spiral staircase with 113 stairs to platform level. The station is not wheelchair accesible as there is no lift to the platform level. There is also stairs from the escalator to the platform level, and trains come frequently, southbound and northbound.

This station is on the northern line and is probably the best choice to use for Highgate cemetery.

Very windy area,more so than other areas.Could be to do with high building, that creates a wind tunnel! Hilly too. Nice shops and nice kebab takeaway and sit down restaurant.

It’s archway. It’s fine. Area that could be better but is seen and treated as a passing through spot by the relevant authorities. With one of the most badly done up historic pubs this side of Atlantis. And convinced that the newsagents must be a front as it doesn’t accept cards.

Very easy and direct route from entrance to platform. Has escalators but no lifts. As of 2017 has been the subject of mopeds gangs after mobile phones so be careful not to carry yours in your hand when walking around the station
