Near this station, famous for its association with the famous surreal panel game, is one of the finest Art Deco buildings in London, the old Carreras cigarette factory, now offices. The building dates from 1928 and apart from its amazing trademark Egyptian cat theme is remarkable for being the first pre-stressed concrete factory in Britain and the first to have air-conditioning installed. A real stunner.
