personally I found all the stations on the tunnel section of the Jubilee
line extension very depressing. Grey, bland, soulless architecture.

One thing I note on the new Jubilee line stations is how comparatively
devoid of advertising they are. The escalator shafts at London Bridge
have no advertising at all, compared with older stations which have
advertising the whole length of the walls. On platforms, too, there's
a bit of advertising but nowhere near as much as on the rest of the
network. Anyone know why?

I would have thought that the 'glass wall' would make the standard
'large poster on the opposite wall' adverts less visible - and thus not
worthwhile.

Define 'worst'?

Ugliest? Smelliest? Most vandalised? Poorest service? Most
inaccessible to people with children in buggies? Hardest to
pronounce?

Waterloo (Bakerloo line) has smelt like sick for years.

It certainly has! What is that smell?

And what about the strange smell of fish on the escalator going up to
the Westbound Circle/District Line at Westminster? Most unpleasent.

Plaistow and Theydon Bois catch out quite a few of the locals - let
alone tourists.

Would I be right in saying Theydon Bois as "thaydun bo-iss"?

Almost, I'm a Chingford lad, born & bred and myself and everyone I've known
from the area have pronouced it "thaydun boy's". Of course, as we spent our
youth keeping Courage (Directors) Ind Coope (Burton) Green King (Abbot) &
MacMullens (anything) in profit or attempting to smoke the entire output of
Nepal & Afganistan whilst "down the 'Liz" listening to "Exium", we might
have got it wrong :-)
