Going over the suggestions via Flickr:

Cannon St, Tower Hill and St James's Park have the wrong lighting:http://flickr.com/photos/marcgoertz/...N00/128647037/

Temple has pillars in the way:http://flickr.com/photos/farrantnz/232935779/

Aldgate East has the right lighting, but a tiled ceiling:http://flickr.com/photos/cinnamonmuse/447160461/

Stepney Green is the best match:http://flickr.com/photos/nuakin/82477206/



In this case, I guess it would have been taken from the spot on the
opposite side that this photo is pointing towards.

It wold also mean that I was right with the first guess, but there has
to be a first time for everything.

The flickr photo of Aldgate East is actually
http://flickr.com/photos/nuakin/82477206/ and I think it's painted concrete
rather than tiles. Anyway the flickr photo looks very similar to the
brightened LU photo

Stepney Green is the best match:
http://flickr.com/photos/nuakin/82477206/

The Stepney Green photo is actually
http://flickr.com/photos/cinnamonmuse/447160461/ and shows brick surfaces
between the girders and a dot matrix display, neither of which match the LU
photo.

My vote is for Aldgate East.
