Going over the suggestions via Flickr:

Cannon St, Tower Hill and St James's Park have the wrong lighting:

Temple has pillars in the way:

Aldgate East has the right lighting, but a tiled ceiling:

The flickr photo of Aldgate East is actually
http://flickr.com/photos/nuakin/82477206/ and I think it's painted concrete
rather than tiles. Anyway the flickr photo looks very similar to the
brightened LU photo

Stepney Green is the best match:

The Stepney Green photo is actually
http://flickr.com/photos/cinnamonmuse/447160461/ and shows brick surfaces
between the girders and a dot matrix display, neither of which match the LU
photo.

My vote is for Aldgate East.
