Drawing for proposed arrangement of ticket machines at Piccadilly Circus underground station

Pencil and coloured crayon
Architect: Charles Holden (1875-1960) for Adams Holden & Pearson

For the new concourse at Piccadilly Circus station, Holden incorporated ticket machines and a passimeter ticket booth. Originally, the machines were to reach almost to the ceiling as this sketch shows; however in a low and confined space this was not ideal and they were reduced in size. Holden has also included the ceiling lights that were designed to imitate the capital detail on a classical column.
