I was in London, UK in 1989 and our student group visited a large tube
or train station to get our photo ID cards. I seem to recall a very
large, open, grey space, like an empty train station. Very long stairs
at some point too and more than a few steps. This place would have
been the general area of the Russell Square station.

Do you have idea where this might have been? I assume ID cards were
only produced at a handful of places in London.

AFAIR back when I got my photocard, every staffed BR could make one for
you. I would have assumed that the same would apply to LU stations.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place
of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
