Favourite & least favourite LU stations

Post by Soup Dragon »

As suggested by editorsfoot! Which LU station do you dislike the most and on a more positive note which is your favourite!

I'll start the ball rolling:

Favourite: Arsenal (3 guesses why) :P
Least Favourite: Cannon Street because it ruins some good 275 routes by closing at 9pm :(

Favourite: Southgate I'll happily go to any Charles Holden designed station, but this one takes the prize because of a fun drunken night spent there at the beginning of February :D

Least favourite: Tottenham Court Road Mostly because when I started going to gigs they were mostly at the Astoria, and every time I used TCR it seemed to take forever to reach daylight!

Favourite: Canary Wharf Mmm, shiny architecture.
Least favourite: Used to be Edgware Road (because it's where Circle line trains sit around for an eternity), now overtaken by London Bridge for always screwing me up in DLR attempts due to being too big / too uphill* / having rubbish displays on the national rail platforms.

* yes, I realise there's a practical solution to that problem

Although I have already voted for Arsenal as my favourite, I would also like to add a vote for Kew Gardens, as mentioned the station has a superb pub on the platform which serves good beer and reasonably priced food. I can highly recommend the Sausage & Mash! It is also a very scenic station.
