This is another one of those stations that has too many things going on and ends up making you want to weep: three tube lines plus a connection to the DLR, and it's joined up to Monument station (which I've already been to). It has a confusing amount of exits and as I wandered round trying to work out which one I wanted I was afraid I was going to get trapped in it forever. Ninth busiest station on the network, which is hardly surprising as it's right outside the Bank of England and near all that type of stuff, but I'd happily never go there again.
It shares with Oval the honour of having the shortest name, and it seems both blunt and arrogant, as if there was only one bank and why would you be so stupid as to think there'd be another? Funny what feeling you get from a name.
