Caledonian Road tube station

Caledonian Road is an underground station of the London Underground in the London Borough of Islington. It is located in the Travelcard Zone 2, at the junction of Caledonian Road and Roman Way. The closest building of significance is the prison of Pentonville, about 400 meters to the south. In 2011, 5.27 million passengers used the station.

The station was opened by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway, the predecessor company of the Piccadilly Line, on 15 December 1906. Due to the terrorist attacks of 7 July 2005 it was closed for several weeks; on August 4, was the re-opening.

The station building is a particularly well-preserved example of those buildings that Leslie Green designed in the early 20th century for the subsidiaries of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London. Typical features are the blood red glazed terracotta brick, large semicircular windows on the upper floor and toothed cornices. Unusually for the Underground network has always been the presence of elevators that lead directly to the platforms. Since 2011, the building is a listed building (Grade II).
