Saturday 6th June 9.50am
I've actually been here before, two years ago, but drunkenly deleted the picture so couldn't count it. This time I actually had a legitimate reason to be here rather than just making up a reason, and thankfully it was on a Saturday morning when this part of the city is deserted because nobody works round there at the weekends.
It's one of those stations that makes everyone go "wow!" although I have to admit that as I left it, heading up the escalator I felt a bit underwhelmed by it. Yes it's big, but I can't help thinking that since it was built a lot of other big stuff has been built in London and somehow this doesn't impress as much as it did. Like the new Crossrail station which they've built round the corner, which I was there to visit and which has its own roof garden. Now that's a proper "wow!"
