Wanstead Station

The Charles Holden designed 1930s Art Deco styled building condensed to unadorned geometric shapes by the advent of WWII. The underground tunnels here repurposed as a pivotal wartime aircraft component manufacturing installation. Completed postwar ( on the cheap ) in 1947 with a stark exterior that anticipates the anonymity and precursor to Brutalism. An exterior surround overhaul would enhance the distinctiveness and nuance here. Meanwhile this conjures a tollgate portal to the Matrix.

Like a country village in London. With two underground stations. (Snaresbrook and Wanstead on either end of the high Street) Pretty High Street, lots of places to eat (almost too much choice!) Lots of parks and nice people.

(Translated by Google) Wansteadis aunderground station in the urban district of Redbridge,east of London and is located on the Hainault ring, central line. Going west, the next station isLeytonstone, while to the east it isRedbridge. In relation to the Metro map it is in Travelcard Zone 4. Construction of the station had begun in the 1930s but was delayed by the onset of World War II. The incomplete tunnels between Wanstead and Gants Hill to the east were used for the production of munitions by the Plessey war industry between 1942 and 1945. The station was finally opened on 14 December 1947. The building, like the other two underground stations on the branch, it was designed by the architect Charles Holden. The original wooden escalator was used in this station until 2003, making it one of the last subway stations to have one. The station has undergone extensive refurbishment since 2006, including the replacement of the original tiling of the platform platform walls, which had been badly damaged.

L'edificio, come le altre due stazioni sotterranee sulla diramazione, fu progettato dall'architettoCharles Holden. In questa stazione stata utilizzata fino al 2003, l'originale scala mobile costruita in legno, risultando essere quindi una delle ultime stazioni della metropolitana ad averne una. La stazione stata ampiamente ristrutturata dal 2006, compresa la sostituzione della piastrellatura originale delle pareti dei marciapiedi dei binari, che era stata gravemente danneggiata.
