AIUI The balloon murals precede the Victoria Line - 2 of the adjoining
platforms were originally the Piccadilly Line and the other 2 the Northern
line into Moorgate.

The Piccadilly Line platforms currently used at Finsbury Park opened in 1904
(westbound - originally from the Moorgate line) and 1906 (eastbound - has
always been a Piccadilly Line platform). The decor was purely functionally
until the mid-80s, when they gained the balloon murals - which have not aged
well. They can't readily be seen at present, because those platforms are
still closed as a result of the Russell Square bomb.

The other two platforms (also one from 1904 and one from 1906) were
redecorated in the 1960s, when they were taken over by the Victoria Line.
