Westminster station - stairs and cross-bracing
London has 270 underground stations, many of which are very old and great fun to photography - 150 year-old stations like Baker Street are wonderful. One of the newer lines, the Jubilee line, built some 25 years ago, also has a variety of stations that are also well worth a visit with a camera (if you can avoid security that is). Jubilee Line stations like Canary Wharf and Southwark are much photographed as is this station at Westminster. It has a brutalist feel with acres of bare concrete and these cross section struts to hold everything in place. It has a different feel to it than any other station in the network. Some love it's design, some hate it. I'm a lover.
