Old Street I can understand. But why Angel, I wonder?


Perhaps it's the nearest station to RNIB?

No, that's King's Cross; it says so in the station announcement on one of
the lines ("The next station is King's Cross St Pancras; alight here for
the Royal National Institute of the Blind."). I'm not sure which line that
is; ISTR it's a subsurface line, probably the Met, BICBW.

That's the problem with google. You can usually find what you're looking
for with a fairly simple search. It's knowing *which* fairly simple search
out of the millions of possible fairly simple searches you need to use to
find it ;-) -- Paul D

Did you bother to check? RNIB is in Judd St. Kings Cross/Euston.

No. That's why I inserted the question mark at the end of the sentence.
