HOW nice to see the opening today of the revamped Kentish Town Tube station after being shut since summer 2023 to have escalators replaced. Restorers have done a magnificent job bringing Leslie Green’s 1907 Northern Line station back to life, with its delightful chocolate and cream tiles now sparkling and new state-of-the-art escalators. The lovely old clocks, on the platforms and in the booking hall, are ticking away, keeping perfect time and ready to mark many more decades in service. All credit to TfL managers and their teams of craftsfolk for a quality restoration.
