119. Swiss Cottage


Saturday 27th February 10.50am

Another Bakerloo line station that got swapped to the Jubilee line without a makeover:


I really love these little tiles:


I've been wanting to photograph escalators with uplighters for ages and finally this was the place the was quiet enough to do it:


At the top of the escalator there's a roundel guiding you downwards that says "trains" on it, although stupidly I didn't take a picture.

There is no surface building - the whole thing is underground, under a busy junction, so there are five different exits to leave from, all labelled with street names which is of course the most practical way of doing it but completely confusing if you've forgotten the name of the street you're heading for and only have a landmark in mind.
