The station is served by the Piccadilly and Victoria lines. Although thought of as a 'deep-level' tube station, Finsbury Park has neither lifts nor escalators as its lines are less than 20' (6.1 m) below street level. The access to the Piccadilly and Victoria line platforms is by staircase only, reached via two narrow passages that probably exclude the installation of automatic ticket barriers - remarkable, considering its Zone 2 location. Manual ticket inspections do, however, occasionally take place. See also:
