It is one of the few stations which have no associated buildings above ground, the station being fully underground.

The original station building still remains to the south of the road junction, notable by its ox-blood coloured tiles. It is used as a commercial premises. The original building still connects to the platforms, using the lift shafts to provide ventilation, and the stair as an emergency escape. However, it is also said to be chillingly haunted by the sound of girls crying, so station staff are reluctant to visit this part of the station at night.
