62. Stockwell


Wednesday 2nd October 9.10am

This is another one of those stations that was one stop away from where I needed to be, although when you get out of the centre of London they get further apart and this was a good twenty minutes walk. The Station itself is initially quite disappointing, a very boxy thing in chocolate brown brick, but actually it's got something about it which I quite like.

It's the station where the Brazilian electrician was mistaken for a terrorist suspect and shot in 2005, a tragic event which inspired a Pet Shop Boys song called We're all Criminals now which I ended up singing to myself for the rest of the day.
