Underground Stations

All of life in London goes through the tube. The rich and famous, the down and out, criminals, terrorists, saints and sinners - the tube doesn’t differentiate. Classless and beautiful, shabby and chic, evocative and repulsive, light and dark. It echoes and underpins London so perfectly. By Martin Dower.

Old Street Station

On the edge of the city. Gritty.

Camden Town

As hipster as they get for location but as a building it's entirely uninteresting.

Brief: My love-hate thing with the tube

Piling through the turnstiles day after day its easy to forget just how impressive the tube is. Its a triumph of function and form in perfect harmony thats best seen in the network of real cathedrals, its stations.

Love it because its classless and the only way to travel effectively around London. Hate it in summer (hot), rush hour (busy) or when its on strike.
