Saturday 1st February 12.45pm.
The stretch of District & Circle line that runs beside the river north of the Thames seems to have so many stations along it that you wonder how they all get used as they're all a reasonably short distance from each other, but it's only when you realise that there are no corresponding stations south of the river but lots of bridges crossing it that this makes sense. And that's how I ended up there, thanks to a Jubilee line closure.
It's got one of those slightly confusing exits with too many options that relies on you knowing the name of the street you want to exit to, which I'm sure works well for locals and regular users, but for tourists and people finding themselves there unexpectedly it's very confusing. Thanks goodness for those local area maps, although I do with they'd reach some consensus about where to put them in the station so it was less like a game of hide & seek.
Wikipedia entry here (although it has to share it with Bank station).
