The station surface building and the distinctive staircase mosaics feature in Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 film Downhill, as well as the 1982 film Runners, written by Stephen Poliakoff. Both films feature shots down the escalators, those in the earlier production being the original wooden versions.
The exterior was used for a scene in the 1974 film adaptation of the popular British television situation comedy Man About the House.
A scene shot at platform level - complete with arriving train - appears in the video for The Chemical Brothers' single Believe (2005).
