40. Goodge Street


Friday 18th April 6.30pm

I didn't actually need to be here but of course I'd have to go through it at some point and a sunny Easter evening was as good a time as any to go out of my way. Turns out that with the Crossrail works going on at Tottenham Court Road for another two years it might actually be a useful alternative. Not that I really need to be in that part of London.

It's not that special a station, just serving one line, but it's actually a good example of this kind of thing, with some nice plain cream tiling and above ground it's clad in those ox blood red tiles that are so distinctive (not that you can tell from all the scaffolding up the front of it). And it has lifts, which is rare enough to still feel like a treat.
