Nor would you at Amersham, 147 m (490 ft) above sea level, but people
seem to have accepted it for many years.

All "Underground" stations have surface buildings which are above sea level,
AFAIK.


Speaking of which, could someone who is knowledgeable of both Hampstead and
Kiev please fix the depth references on this page...
