56. West Brompton


Saturday 20th September 10.45am

This was another of those next-stop-from-where-I-needed-to-be stations and turned out to be quite informative as well - I'd have expected it to be a bit further north than it was, a bit nearer Kensington, a bit posher perhaps. And I wasn't expecting Chelsea football club to be just round the corner either. I was also surprised to see the Earls Court Exhibition Centre just over the road - when I went there two years ago it was chaos on the trains at Earls Court afterwards, which it turns out could have easily been avoided by taking a side exit from the building and using this station instead. I'd remember that for another time but they're probably going to knock down the centre so that knowledge is a bit too late.

The station shares platforms with the Overground and they're all open air, which gives it something of a country feel, which is a bit unexpected in the heart of the city.
