Arsenal underground station was called Gillespie Road before rebuilding in the 1930s. Alas, at the same time as the renaming, the station was remodelled to its modern, more brutalist, form.

Campbell Road a.k.a. “The Bunk” in Finsbury Park (1919) Described as the most dangerous London road in the early 1900s, most of the houses were originally built in the mid 19th century for the expected arrival of the middle classes. Instead the migration from the countryside as farming jobs disappeared soon filled these properties with sometimes 16 mixed families per house. Most of the area was pulled down to build the Andover Estate in the 1950s.

Drayton Park station in its Northern Line days Drayton Park was opened by the Great Northern & City Railway (GN&CR) on 14 February 1904. Although the Victoria line does not serve Drayton Park, its construction during the 1960s had a significant impact on the station. The City Line tunnels north of Drayton Park were closed on 3 October 1964 and were reused by the Victoria line, which was connected to them south of Finsbury Park. Drayton Park became the northern terminus of the City line, which later became known as the Northern line Highbury Branch. On 4 October 1975 the line was closed and ceased to be part of the London Underground. The line was transferred to British Rail.
