113. Ladbroke Grove


Saturday 13th February 11.05am

I took an instance dislike to this station when I saw the roundel - it's one of those with a horrid addition to help tourists find their way. You don't see them very often which is probably what makes them so appalling when you do. It just seems to go against all the Tube branding and spoils the look too. I hate it.

On the plus side it's one of those elevated station with open air platforms, with stairs down to a ground level ticket office, which are common in this part of west London and which I think might be my preferred type of station if I had to pick a fantasy local one. The building itself is nothing special at all squeezed in between some shops.
