Black horse motif at Blackhorse Road Underground station

The fibreglass black horse sculpture outside Blackhorse Road Victoria line station is by David McFall. The mosaic surround is by Trata Drescha. This station opened on the Victoria line on 1 September 1968 and was the only significant new above-ground structure to be built especially for the line. The black horse sculpture is the most striking feature of this single-storey steel-framed building. The Victoria line was the first Underground line to cross London since 1907. It links some of the City's busiest interchanges: King's Cross St Pancras, Oxford Circus, and Victoria.
