Turns out this isn't where I thought it was. I knew it was on the Embankment but thought it was opposite Cleopatra's Needle - somehow I muddled it's religious name with the whole Cleopatra business and assumed they were connected. So I could never understand why anyone would use it when it was right next door to Embankment and Charing Cross stations. As I walked and walked along the Embankment, past Somerset House and beyond I realised my mistake.
It does feel like it's in the middle of nowhere though, and why would anyone use it? It's the quietest Tube station I've been though - I was the only person in the ticket hall as I went through the barriers. Disappointingly the rather lovely station building is now a Walkabout pub. But I guess it will get a new lease of life if Thomas Hetherwick's bridge gets built. Fingers crossed then.
