The new Tottenham Court Road station takes its design cues from the ground above - the architecture of nearby buildings and the Soho street pattern, coupled with the nightlife and theatres of London’s vibrant West End. The station features a new entrance on Dean Street with a cinematic and theatrical design featuring granite, black glass and stainless steel. At the other end of the station are connections to the Tottenham Court Road St Giles Circus integrated ticket hall, and interchange with the Northern line. Striking red and white glass features the street map of Soho, with roundels to mark station entrances.
