Default What to see on the tube

Roland Perry wrote in message ...
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.

I've been to London for business meetings and told myself that I'd be back to see London for myself. (rather than flying one day and out the next) I've used the tube briefly and my questions a Stuart Teo London Transport 4 January 30th 04 03:57 PM
