Which tube station is shown on the above link?


West Ruislip?


That was my initial instinct, too. It's clearly on the Central Line.


The London Underground website picture has changed to a more tricky one. Any
ideas what station it is or too hard to tell?

Hmm. By wacking up the brightness a lot, the ceiling is shown to have
brick arches going across it, but without riding along the whole line
trying to spot them ...

I am guessing somewhere like Stepney Green or Bow Road.

My thought was St. James' Park (convenient for the photographer as well I
guess).

District Line, and those girders ought to make it easy for someone to go
and check which one. My first guess would be Cannon Street, but I could
easily be wrong.

This one seems a lot harder. Three different answers so far.

The old style "First Train" thing made me think it wasn't somewhere
central, but maybe there's more of them around than I think.

Well, joining in with a "first guess", I would go for Temple or just
possibly Tower Hill.......

No, the lamps, they are old-style-but-modern round thingys at Gloucester
Road while Aldgate East for instance have tube fixtures. But what
disturbs me is that there are no pillars visible on the picture and it
would have been if it was at Aldgate East. I think it is Tower Hill or
Cannon Street, but I don't remember which kind of lighting fixtures they
have there...

Going over the suggestions via Flickr:

Cannon St, Tower Hill and St James's Park have the wrong lighting:

Temple has pillars in the way:

Aldgate East has the right lighting, but a tiled ceiling:

Stepney Green is the best match:

Harrow-on-the-hill has the old information boards but I know the picture is
not taken from there.
