Opus Architecture worked with Tube Lines Limited as joint lead designers and architects for the London Underground’s Piccadilly Line modernisation programme.

Stations in the programme include Arnos Grove, Sudbury Hill, South Ealing, Caledonian Road and Manor House Station. 

The refurbishment of Arnos Grove, a historic station, considered to be one of Charles Holden’s finest designs, included extensive improvements to the mechanical, electrical and communication facilities, as well as upgrading of the ground level ticket hall building and the two island platforms.

At Sudbury Hill, a 1930’s suburban station, refurbishment work of this listed Holden station was carried out in close consultation with English Heritage, producing a building with a sensitive selection of materials and details.

The ticket hall and two island platforms at South Ealing were upgraded in the modernisation programme.  Additionally, new waiting rooms at platform level were added as well as an extension to house communication equipment. 

Upgrades were also made to the ticket hall, lower concourse area, and platforms at Manor House Station.
