I never cease to be amazed how many original LER stations have still not had
anything built above them despite the intentions over 100 years ago.


Maida Vale Station always surprises me. One presumes it was built as
a plinth. It is in a fairly densely populated area. Yet it remains a
single story shell.

It's a fairly standard building based on an updated (by Stanley Heaps)
version of the general Leslie Green style like Kilburn Park to the
north and others elsewhere :-

Heaps had taken over from Green who died in 1908 before the Bakerloo
Line extension was opened. Heaps moved on to a different style with
the extension of the Northern Line to Edgware in the 1920s.
