I'm trying to compile a list of interesting things to go see on the "tube" on a day trip. Engineering mainly, like the crossover at the end of the Oxford St Bakerloo, the scale of Canary Wharf and the tunnel out of Bank-DLR. What others can the team suggest? Step-plate junction and being able to see across to the other platform at the southern end of the Bakerloo at Piccadilly Circus. Wartime trackside flood-gates at both ends of each Northern & Bakerloo platform tunnel at Embankment and Waterloo (Bakerloo ones are more "visible"). More visible closed stations between Kentish Town & Camden Town (South Kentish Town), TCR & Holborn (British Museum), and Caledonian Road & Kings Cross (York Road - well-lit emergency exit). Also surface building of the same (bar) Mritish Museum) and a few others (e.g. Brompton Road & Down Street - in need of a blue plaque?!). Wartime Deep Level Shelter entrances/blockhouses. "Fake" house at Leinster Gardens and District Line in cutting at rear (between Bayswater & Paddington). Memorial plaques at Balham, Bethnal Green, Bounds Green (WW2) & Kings Cross (the fire). Disused Wood Lane station platform northbound between Shepherd's Bush & White City. |
