My home underground station. It's one of the stations build in 1930s, which makes it pretty with…read morewhite emailed tiles plus some green tiles as spare decorations on the boarders. it also has some rather nice light fittings in the main hall. It makes my architect crazy heart leap a bit every morning. Not so much on the way home. The staff is nice and approachable and seem to handle the masses streaming through rather well.

The Central Line is one of the older lines on the London Underground and in many ways, it is one of…read morethe least pleasant - through the use of the old-fashioned 1992 stock trains and poorly designed stations where if travelling on the Circle line, you need to request a ramp before you travel if you have a wheelchair/pram even at a station which is normally fully step-free such as Bond Street or Tottenham Court Road and this is designed on the basis of you knowing about it and finding a staff member or a staff member finding you first - otherwise causing greater confusion and delay. The "red" line opened in 1900 and is one of the most frequently used lines on the tube overall - which puzzles me why some of their stations or even platforms within those stations haven't received the same care or refurbishment as the others - is it because it's in the deep underground? I really look forward to Crossrail coming into London as it shares a lot of stations with this one and I hope it truly makes the Central Line obsolete, which also seems to get much hotter and noisier than the other lines. 1* - While it might serve some useful destinations, this line really grinds my gears and is just the ugly sister of the Jubilee line and co.

The Central line is just pipped into second place as my favourite tube. It is a literal life line…read moreto those living out in the East End of London and to those in the west. The Central line dissects London horizontally and hits numerous major zone one stations. In the rush hours it is a very busy train and you may have to wait awhile to board off the busy platforms. The Central line is very fast, frequent and reliable. It is without question one of my favourite lines.

If a Tube line can be confusing, the Northern line does it. Bank Branch. Charing Cross Branch…read more Edgware. High Barnet. Oh, and don't forget the occasional run that splits to Mill Hill. You have to seriously know where you're going to ride the Northern! And just when you think you know where you're headed, the train stops and the driver announces that no, this Bank Branch train that was headed to Edgware is now going to High Barnet. I mean, wtf. I finally got a seat, and now I have to stand on a platform with a billion people to try and get back onto the next train. Oh, wait, the next train is ALSO going to High Barnet. Argh! In the summer, Northern is one of the sweatiest and most crowded Tubes in the whole system. Considering that these are relatively modern cars, you have to wonder why they can't pump a little cooler air in there. It was getting to the point that I'd have to have one shirt for the train ride and a spare to change into when I got to my destination. Leicester Square ('less-tuh'), Waterloo, Charing Cross. All places you've managed to take me. Thanks for that. But really, so hot!

Previously dubbed the Misery Line by the papers and commuters, I have to say that the modern…read moreNorthern Line is generally quite a pleasant experience. The carriages are new and there are ticker tape displays in the carriages announcing the routes and next stations. The routes are important as the Northern Line is one of the more complicated Underground lines with alternative routes through the middle of town and 3 final stops in north London. I often give poor confused tourists a guiding hand when I spot them on the platforms Like all Underground lines, could do with air conditioning or deodorising spray machines in the summer!

A rather odd little station, poorly served by Southern Trains. The ticket hall and platforms are…read moreattractive enough but the rest feels very makeshift and temporary. There used to be a commanding view of Battersea Power Station but all that can be seen now are identikit boxes masquerading as homes. It's to be hoped that with all these new 'residents' that the station will get a makeover or at least have more frequent services from Clapham Junction.

The one remaining, and to my mind major, issue is this station's TOTAL lack of accessibility. Steep stairs to platforms, no lifts and steps up to the train make this one to steer clear of if you have any mobility issues.

I watched the rush of London from the comfort of a 15mph boat and had a beer. You thought they had been drinking on public transport.
