Southwark Underground Station, London, England
This is certainly a station I will revisit again when I am next down in London. There is always something new to photograph every time I visit.
I am planning to come down to London soon and got a few new places I want to photograph, including a new spiral staircase. I also want to have a bumper photography walk on the London Underground and visit the new parts of refurbished Tottenham Court Road. I have seen some photos of it and it looks very nice.
Oh just to let you all know I have joined Instagram, yes I know I must be one of the last to join. There are some amazing photographers over there that are not on Flickr or 500px, very inspirational, especially as some of the photographers over there purely shoot just with their cameras on their phone which must be a challenge in themselves but it just proves how good the cameras are getting on phones nowadays.

Location Information
Southwark is a London Underground station in the London Borough of Southwark at the corner of Blackfriars Road and The Cut. It is between Waterloo and London Bridge stations on the Jubilee line and is in Travelcard Zone 1. It was opened on 20 November 1999 as part of the Jubilee Line Extension. The station is somewhat west of historic Southwark, which is served by Borough tube station and London Bridge station. Its entrance is across the street from the disused Blackfriars Road railway station.
The original plan for the Extension did not include a station between those at Waterloo and London Bridge; Southwark station was added after lobbying by the local council, it is in fact sited right next to the borough's boundary with Lambeth at Joane Street. Although it is close to Waterloo, not near the Bankside attractions it was intended to serve, and its only National Rail interchange is to London Waterloo East main line station; the passenger usage matches those of other minor central stations. It does however get over double the traffic of nearby Borough station and around triple Lambeth North.
