Artwork; The New Piccadilly Circus Station, by P G Davis, 1925

During the 1920s, Piccadilly Circus station was reconstructed. Escalators and a new booking hall were built. This diagrammatic representation of the station by P G Davis gives a cut-away view looking down onto the booking hall showing the escalators, ticket offices and station shops as well as the street-level layout of Piccadilly Circus. Even buildings such as the Criterion theatre and the basement of the Swan and Edgar department store are included. A smaller image on the top left shows the subterranean layout in relation to the position of the surface structures.
