A quick Google search led me to this list on Wikipedia which contains around 330 stations in the London area. Obviously what constitutes London is debatable, but as this is the only list I can find, it seems fair to use it. A quick scan of the list revealed that I have already visited about 35 or so of the stations, and I've obviously passed through many more, however as I wasn't taking pictures I'll be starting at square one.
My aim therefore, is to visit and photograph as many London stations as I can (at least until I get bored). I'll upload one picture of each station I visit to the blog (any more than one would be a bit of an overkill I feel). None of the pictures will be taken from inside a train (that's too easy). I'll maybe write a few words about each station as I go, depending on whether I have anything of interest to say. So here we go...
Station #1 - London Waterloo
In the summer I play cricket for my work team, our home ground is in Chiswick which means I have to take the train from Waterloo out to Barnes Bridge, as I did yesterday. I'm usually in a rush when I pass through and as it's rush hour, it's pretty hectic. One of the most interesting parts of the station for me are the 5 disused platforms (20-24) that used to make up the Eurostar terminal. Since the service was moved to St. Pancras in 2007 the platforms have stood unused and it already looks in a pretty sorry state of affairs.Station #2 - Vauxhall
On my return this week I got off the Southwest train service at Vauxhall station to change for the Underground, the picture above shows another Southwest service on the opposite platform.
