In the 1880s, Henry Jones built a small five-stop pipe organ. The original location is unknown. The instrument was placed in the United Reformed Church in Whetstone in 2000. After the closure of this church, the organ was overhauled by Martin Renshaw and placed in London Bridge Station in London. It is the intention that travelers play the instrument, with the purpose to draw more attention to organ and organ music. On the station the organ has been inaugurated officially on July 30, 2022.
