London Transport - Arsenal station design sketches, August 1930 (by Mikey):
A sketch from the offices London Transport Architects illustrating the proposed reconstruction of the facade of Arsenal station in 1933. This swept away the 1906 Leslie Green facade and delivered this uncompromising ‘moderne’ elevation that largely survives to this day. Given the huge LT roundel on the facade and the two cantilevered versions there’s no doubting it is a tube station!
