Tower Hill tube station has been smelling of honey this past few days.
Either there was a bizarre accident or someone is pumping the smell into the
station.

And speaking of smells, why do I often smell minced beef in the morning on
the Picadilly line at Kings Cross and grilled bacon at Old Street.

Lately I've been smelling Chicken Katsu Curry on Friday lunchtimes from the
staff at Moorgate station.

Not sure about the others, but the grilled (fried, surely?) bacon at
Old Street is from the greasy cafe in the underground shopping arcade
just outside the station.

I could faintly smell honey from all the blue/purplish flowers outside Tower
Hill when going to work this morning. I guess when it gets warmer then the
smell gets stronger. Old Street greasy cafe probably makes sense.

Surely that's "scents"!

Slightly OT but I seem to remember that the choice on several Paris
metro stations was either very bad eggs or an exceptionally sweet
smelling aroma like Turkish Delight.

When I took that route home after work, I used to get bacon smells at
Victoria when changing from the eastbound District onto the Victoria,
just as you leave the platform of the former at the eastbound end.

Well Paris is a whole different ball game. The smells there are just so
superb.

The normal source of a smell like that on an underground station is a
raw sewerage leak. Paris is an old system like London, and suffers
quite a few similar problems.
