Summary:

In television broadcast 19, Geoffrey Baker visits three stations designed by Charles Holden for the London Underground's Piccadilly Line (Cockfosters, Oakwood, and Southgate). At a time when the imagery of the International Style was controversial in England, Holden's task was to evolve an architectural expression for the Underground which would fit in with suburbia and which would also project an image of a modern transport system.
