English: In the late 1960s, London Transport appointed a collective of designers, artists and architects who designed all aspects of the Victoria Line. The distinctive designs in each platform seat recess on all of its 16 stations provided much needed colour and decoration and gave each stop its own visual identity. The results were a mixture of direct inspiration from the station name and references to historical details of the local area. The design for Finsbury Park is by Tom Eckersley (1914–1997). The crossed pistols refers to the duelling that took place here when this area was outside the edge of London.
