And in years of coming to London on a bi-weekly basis I have never ever
seen any kind of police officer on London Underground property.

They are often hanging around KX booking office. There were three or
four in flack jackets there yesterday early evening. Didn't appear to be
doing much to discourage the "dun wiv yer travelcard mate" brigade
lurking at the top of the exits.

There's been a lot of (not BTP) police around ticket halls recently
(notably Tottenham Court Road and South Kensington) with drug-sniffer
dogs. (The ones who sit down quietly when they smell cannabis [1].)

Though why they were specifically doing it there and then (a couple of
weeks ago), I have no idea. The location would suggest to me to result
in nicking a few Spanish teenagers with a joint in their pocket.
