Summary edit

Description
English: Mornington Crescent underground station Another image of this wonderful Edwardian edifice restored to its former brown-tiled glory after a number of years in the doldrums.

It was built in 1907 as part of the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway, a venture led by Charles Tyson Yerkes who built the Chicago Subway before being exiled to England. In the 1920s the former line was amalgamated with the City & South London Railway to form the Northern Line.

It was closed in 1992 when the lifts became unserviceable and re-opened, with some ceremony, by Humphrey Littleton and friends from "I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue".
