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 actuallyhttp://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 actuallyhttp://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.




You may be right, but it would have been taken from the opposite
side. The more I look at the two, the more I see that it matches
Stepney Green.

The girders and bricks can be seen clearly in the LU picture if you
put the brightness up.
