Default What's this building in Stoke Newington?

Are you referring to the old LT staff canteen? There were numerous
examples of these dotted around London and remote from actual bus
garages since this allowed more economical rostering of crews (who
didn't have to travel back to a garage for meal relief). Probably all
have now closed following the withdrawal of cross-London routes, routes
served by more than one garage, and general ending of 'shared'
facilities between operators.


If you head further north-west there are three Underground ventilation
buildings at Netherton Road (Victoria Line), Colina Road and
Nightingale Road (Piccadilly Line).
