Manor House tube station is a station on the Piccadilly Line of the London Underground in the London Borough of Hackney, on the boundary between Travelcard Zone 2 and Zone 3. It was opened 19 September 1932, and lies between Finsbury Park and Turnpike Lane. When the station opened, access to tram routes to and from Tottenham, Edmonton and Stamford Hill was provided by special tramway island exits into Seven Sisters Road. These tram services were withdrawn in 1938 and replaced by Trolleybuses; the exits were removed in the 1950s. Next to the northern exit are the remains of a tramway track which leads into the rear of the former Metropolitan Electic Tramways Headquarters (M.E.T) building, later the Eastern Divisional Office of London Transport Buses.
Manor House station is currently in the process of being retiled. Work should finish in 2005. The original beige and blue tiles are being replaced by a near-identical scheme of new beige and blue tiles.
Harringay Green Lanes railway station is about 650m away, northward along Green Lanes.
