No - the power rail is DLR third rail style, rather than Underground
4th rail style. I don't know if it's a DLR station - might not be
London at all.

No.

No station name roundels on the wall, heights of conductor rails are
wrong, no "suicide pit", no white line on edge of platform and yellow
line further back, tiling pattern doesn't match anything I recognise,
etc.

Not London Underground. The third rail looks similar to the DLR in London,
but by enlarging the photo and trying a few guesses in Google, I managed to
decipher the bottom two lines of the advert as:

Funeral Services Bergmann & Sohn
Jonasstraße 7, [postcode] Berlin Tiergarten

So I assume it's in Berlin.

The drain doesn't have suicide pits, but everything else is still
wrong anyway.

An advert in English in Germany? Don't they usually dub everything in
German?

Possibly, in which case it's most likely been photoshopped back into
English.

Not always, certainly when I've been in Munich, English has been used in
adds. Often when the advertiser has been attempting to appear "with-it" or
"trendy".
