Thomas Phillips Figgis (1858–1948)

Known professionally as T. P. Figgis, Irish-born architect who was articled to Alfred G. Jones before moving to London, where he had a long career. Some of his best-known works are the original station buildings for the City & South London Railway which opened in 1890. Figgis designed the stations at Stockwell, Oval, Kennington, Elephant and Castle and Borough. When the C&SLR was extended, he later designed a station at Clapham North and the station and C&SLR’s offices at Moorgate. Most of Figgis’s buildings for the C&SLR have been replaced or substantially altered.
