Gants Hill station was designed by architect Charles Holden in the 1930s and during WW2 it as used as an air raid shelter.

Holden went to Moscow as a consultant and when he came back to England, he got inspired and brought back some novel ideas. That is why Gants Hill bares a resemblance to the Moscow Metro.

Located on the Central line, this little stunning station is well worth a visit. However, rest assured that tourists regularly travel all the way up north London in order to enjoy its wonderful architecture.
