36. Edgware Road (Bakerloo Line)


Monday 7th April 5.30pm

I needed to change from the Bakerloo line to something that would get me back to Kings Cross and the other options were all going to be too busy, so I thought I'd investigate the two stations at Edgware Road instead. They're not connected in anyway which is why they're separate stations on the map, and why they count as two separate stations towards the total number. But they are quite close together - just along the road, under a flyover and round the corner. They're probably actually closer than the interchanges between lines at some of the bigger stations (Paddington and Kings Cross spring to mind).

The station itself is a bit run down, just like the area itself. It's obviously used a lot and being right next to a flyover doesn't help. It feels very urban, but in a realistic way, in an every day kind of way. There's no glamour in the city really.
