Embankment Tube Station
UPDATE DEC 2011 - #25 on Explore for 19.12.2011 - thank you very much everybody for my 11th explore! :-)
Sorry I haven't been on here and uploaded in a while but due to other commitments I just didn't have time however you'll be pleased to know I now have more time :-) This is a photo from my recent trip to London. You can never ever get bored of London, it has so much to offer a photographer and the London Underground never disappointments me.
I have seen this staircase before but did not actually go out to photograph it on this particular day and just stumbled across it by accident. The blue tiles really contrast the seemingly flowing gold coloured staircase and it wasn't until I started to process the photo that to me it looked a little like a butterfly.
Hopefully in the new year I am going to save up for a ultra wide angle lens as my widest lens is Tamron 17-50, not sure which but I am thinking about the Sigma 10-20, any thoughts or suggestions?

Information
Embankment is a London Underground station in the City of Westminster, known by various names during its history. It is served by the Circle, District, Northern and Bakerloo lines. On the Northern and Bakerloo lines, the station is between Waterloo and Charing Cross stations; on the Circle and District lines, it is between Westminster and Temple and is in Travelcard Zone 1. The station has two entrances, one on Victoria Embankment and the other on Villiers Street. The station is adjacent to Victoria Embankment Gardens and is close to Charing Cross station, Embankment Pier, Hungerford Bridge, Cleopatra's Needle, the Royal Air Force Memorial, the Savoy Chapel and Savoy Hotel and the Playhouse and New Players Theatres.
The station is in two parts: sub-surface platforms opened in 1870 by the Metropolitan District Railway (MDR) as part of the company's extension of the Inner Circle eastwards from Westminster to Blackfriars and deep-level platforms opened in 1906 by the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway (BS&WR) and 1914 by the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway (CCE&HR). A variety of underground and mainline services have operated over the sub-surface tracks and the CCE&HR part of the station was reconstructed in the 1920s.
