Why is it called Arnos Grove?

Piccadilly

Where the name comes from

From an estate called Arnoldes Grove or Arno's Grove, the "grove or copse of the Arnold family", local landowners recorded from the 14th century. Sir William Mayne renamed the house and estate Arnos Grove. The station name was chosen after public deliberation over alternatives such as "Bowes Road".

Worth knowing: In July 2011 the station's listed status was upgraded to Grade II*.
