Between 1995 and 2001, extensive refurbishment took place, which included removing three rows of pews from the back, reflooring and creating a larger entrance area via the west door. While the floor was removed, it exposed some of the crypts that were known to be beneath. During the same works, when the ceiling from the entrance lobby underneath the bell tower was removed, it revealed several large oak beams probably used during the reconstruction of the tower in the sixteenth century. It was decided that these beams would be refurbished and left permanently exposed. The Georgian beams of the south porch roof have also been left exposed. A disabled toilet and refreshment area were installed. The east end has also been reordered.

The below surface areas of the station are tiled in biscuit-coloured tiles lined with green friezes. The station tunnels?in common with those of Manor House and Turnpike Lane?are 23 ft (7 m) diameter and were designed for the greater volume of traffic expected. In contrast, the platform tunnels at both Bounds Green and Southgate have a diameter of only 21 ft (6.4 m). The construction of "suicide pits" between the rails was a new innovation.
The station was opened on 1 January 1878 as Green Lanes by the Great Eastern Railway as the temporary terminus of the line which was extended to Palace Gates (Wood Green) station on 7 October 1878.
