Which London Underground station is decorated with mosaic artworks by Eduardo Paolozzi?

The story behind the answer

Tottenham Court Road station is decorated with mosaic artworks by Eduardo Paolozzi.

Paolozzi’s mosaics were installed at the station during a major redevelopment and became one of the most distinctive examples of public art on the Underground. Their bright colours and geometric imagery cover parts of the station’s passageways and platforms.

The artworks reflect Tottenham Court Road’s long association with design, music, electronics and creative businesses. They are not simply temporary advertising displays: they are permanent elements of the station’s architectural identity, although construction work has altered some surrounding spaces.

Travellers sometimes associate the station’s best-known art with nearby commercial attractions, but the Paolozzi mosaics are specifically part of Tottenham Court Road station. The station is served by the Central and Northern lines.
