Why is it called Warwick Avenue?
Where the name comes from
Named after Warwick Avenue, the street at whose junction with Warrington Crescent and Clifton Gardens the station stands; before opening it was to be called Warrington Crescent. The street, first called Green Lane and then Warwick Road, was named after Jane Warwick of Warwick Hall, Cumbria, whose family was connected by marriage to the leaseholder of the land.
Worth knowing: It was one of the first Underground stations built to use escalators rather than lifts.
