Colliers Wood Tube Station

Colliers Wood is a London Underground station in South London. The station is on the Northern line, between and stations. It is located at the corner of Merton High Street (A24) and Christchurch Road. The station is in Travelcard Zone 3. HistoryThe station was opened on 13 September 1926 as part of the Morden extension of the City & South London Railway south from Clapham Common. Along with the other stations on the Morden extension, the building was designed by architect Charles Holden. They were Holden's first major project for the Underground. He was selected by Frank Pick, general manager of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL), to design the stations after he was dissatisfied with designs produced by the UERL's own architect, Stanley Heaps. Built with a shop to each side, the modernist design takes the form of a double-height three-sided box clad in white Portland stone with a three-part glazed screen on the front façade divided by columns of which the capitals are three-dimensional versions of the Underground roundel. The central panel of the screen contains a large version of the roundel. The station is a Grade II listed building.
