88. Kentish Town

Another gorgeous ox-blood tiled station, this one is also a National Rail station although apart from the entrance they're obviously in different places - one above ground, one deep below it. At the moment the down escalator is closed for replacement so you have to climb down a spiral staircase with 121 steps - so they say, I didn't count them - to get to the platform, which was actually quite fun

It only took three goes to get the spelling of that name right, despite having a picture I could have looked at!

I have a friend who lived close to this station years ago so this wasn't my first time through it, and I doubt it's changed since then. It's your standard Northern line station really: lifts to the deep level platforms, tiled platforms, ox-blood red surface building. It's only a small station with a tiny ticketing area, and when I came through it there was hardly anyone there. It felt oddly nostalgic though.
