Default Cockfosters reminds me of.......where?

Here's a question for the "team"!

Despite being a pretty serious fan of Holden architecture, I've had my
first ever visit to Cockfosters today! * [1]

I was well impressed (I think it's up there with Arnos Grove and
Southgate) but although I liked the horticulture on the (partially
infilled?) central bay platform, I'm not sure it would meet his or Frank
Pick's design requirements!

My reason for posting here though is that the station *really* reminded
me of somewhere else.......but where? * Is there another very similar
terminal station somewhere on the system? * Or on another metro
somewhere in Europe? * I really did have the strangest feeling of déjà
vu; *perhaps it's just having seen this one in so many pictures but if
anyone can enlighten me or suggest what else it reminds me of, I'd be
very grateful!
