An archetypal piece of Art Deco station furniture, this cast bronze uplighter is not just a functional light but an iconic piece of Tube history. It was removed from its place on the escalators in 1974; unfortunately we only have the lamp, not the escalator it once graced, so now it is mounted on a small wooden plinth. The photograph on the right shows a prototype escalator assembly in the factory, with just such an uplighter in position on the left.
