The Queen Mary Reservoir is one of the largest of London's reservoirs in the Staines/Sunbury area, in West London within the borough of Spelthorne in Surrey. It lies south of the A308 and west of the M3 motorway. The reservoir covers 700 acres (2.8 km2) and lies 45 ft (14 m) above the surrounding area.
The station opened on 13 March 1933 as part of the Cockfosters extension.[3] The station did not appear on the original plans to extend the Piccadilly line beyond Finsbury Park, which only provided for seven additional stations.
The station is located on a hill and whereas the platforms at the stations on each side are on the surface those at Southgate are in a short section of tunnel. The tunnel portals are visible from the platforms when looking north, a unique occurrence for a deep-level London Underground station. As usual on the Piccadilly Line, the platforms are labelled Westbound and Eastbound. However, the tunnels run roughly north-south at Southgate, so eastbound is northbound and westbound is southbound.
The following London Bus routes serve the bus station (the tube station forecourt)[8]:
Today's single-storey structure was built in the 1960s for the opening of the Victoria line on 1 September 1968 and is the entrance for all lines. When the escalators to the deep level platforms were opened the GN&CR station building was closed. Its disused entrance remains and was refurbished externally in 2006 - it houses signalling equipment for the Victoria line.[5]
