One of my favorite stations in all of London. I find the atmosphere here really mysterious but not in a bad way. There's almost no sound at all when trains haven't arrived yet. Plus there's a lot of old network southeast signage still present as a nostalgia trip. It lacks in step free access despite the use of lifts to the surface however.

Take a step back to 1992! Is it an underground? Is it an Overground? You decide! Was planned to be part of the metropolitan line, then intended to be on a 3rd northern line branch. Now it's national rail but no Oyster to Potters Bar yet...

A top notch station with a classic late 18th Century vibe. Contrary to popular belief, trains do still stop here from time to time.

Lift is always broken. Been like this for the past 6 years as far as I can remember.

Very poor station and overall train service. No digital sign above ground so you have to tap in and go down the lift to find out your train is cancelled/ 20 mins late. No internet. No train schedule available. Presumably staffed from time to time. Avoid if you have any other way to get around.
