The outside of this is rather lovely, with the name of the railway company across the top of the front of the older part of the station, but there was roadworks going on which made it tricky to photograph. There was also an old-fashioned police box outside the front which is how this picture came about:
Inside it's rather lovely - you walk up some stairs to a sort of mezzanine level which looks over the track, down the station and in the distance you can see the Earl's Court concert hall/exhibition centre through the end of the platform. Stupidly I didn't get a picture of it, which is a shame as there's a lot of talk of knocking that building down. Apparently there's a much more modern station building at that end, but I've only used it once and didn't notice as it was so crowded.
The Piccadilly line platforms are only accessible by lifts and they're your standard tiled platform, just as you'd expect to find on this part of the line.
