I'd been through this station a few times before I started this blog, enough times to develop a dislike for it. It's one of those that is built under a roundabout so you exit it from all manner of subways, which are confusingly signposted. There are shops down there too and the whole thing just looks run down. Admittedly they've been trying to spruce it up a bit since the area became the place to start up your IT business but they've got a long way to go - the signs on the stairs certainly help but it still looks like it needs a good wash.
I always felt it more accurately reflected the area than the things I was in the area to see - the fancy White Cube Gallery, and the swish Hoxton hotel - whereas the reality of that road is large blocks of flats and fried chicken shops. I like that mix - it's what makes London interesting. What I don't like is this station.
