Does that need an apostrophe?
Surely the only station on the underground whose ticket building includes a Beatles cafe, because of the station's proximity to Abbey Roads studios. Interestingly it's also got flats built on top of it, which must be a mixed blessing for the owners.
It's a Jubilee line station but it has none of the modern elements to it, and is entirely vintage:
Turns out it used to be on the Bakerloo line and was swapped when the Jubilee line opened. I've got a 1953 Tube map on my landing which shows the Bakerloo line splitting with two lines heading north, the kind of thing that makes it tricky to navigate so it was probably for the best.
The down escalator is currently being replaced and having to walk down the stairs makes you appreciate the escalator more.
