Before Overground – Seven Sisters

Rabbits Would Be At Home Here – Rating 4/10

Seven Sisters station is a bad station, that was made a lot worse by tacking a Victoria Line station on with all the subtlety of the worst of 1060s-architecture and design.

I approached the station on a 76 bus from near where I live.

The first time, I did this, I entered the station from the Tottenham High Road end and went down and up escalators and steep staircases to get to the platform for Enfield Town and Cheshunt.

This time, I stayed on the surface and walked up Seven Sisters Road to the southern entrance of the station.It is a route that is almost as tortuous.

The station itself has some problems that are easily fixed and others like the narrow down platform that aren’t!

I should say that Seven Sisters is a station I avoid, as for me Hackney Downs is an alternative, that although it has long staircases, it wasn’t built for rabbits.

London Overground will have fun, making a customer-friendly station out of this one.
