Historical context of station entrances
Historic England records indicate that when Manor House station was constructed, it was excavated beneath the junction and featured nine original street-level stairways providing access to the ticket hall. Two of these original entrances offered direct access to tram services. These tram services were withdrawn in 1938 and replaced by trolleybuses, with the associated redundant exits removed in 1951.
The station opened on 19 September 1932. It was part of the Piccadilly line's northern extension from Finsbury Park towards Arnos Grove. Architect Charles Holden, known for his work on other Underground stations, designed Manor House. Unlike some of his other designs, much of Manor House was built below street level.

The station takes its name from the Manor House Tavern, a former public house near the junction that contributed to the area's modern designation. Today, Manor House remains a notable example of the Underground network's more unusual characteristics, where the choice of exit can lead to a different London borough.
