For me this was the end of the line, the trains sliding doors were open and we were at my stop. With the driver signaling he was about to depart i stepped off, the small taste of the London underground unforgettable. Thankfully however the final stop just so happened to be the deepest station London ever built, the perfect way to end!

As with most tube related exploits, they tend to have only one means of access. Like a maze without an exit, once in the only way out would be to backtrack to the start. As such, like a rat cornered in a hole, should exit be closed, locked or blocked by workers, you genuinely have no form of escape, or anywhere to hide (In most cases). You fate resting in that at the entrance be it workers, police or a train.

Opened in 1868 as St. John’s Wood Road, Lord’s is sitated on the Metropolitan & St. John’s Wood Railway (Now, Metropolitan Line). The station was renamed St Johns Wood on the 1st April, 1925 and then Lords on the 11 June, 1939, just five months before the station closed as a result of services transferring to the new deep-level tunnels between Finchley Road and Baker Street.

Coming from the mecca of brick that is London, Stockholm was a bit of a shock. Out of the entire network something like 0.2% is brick. Now this may sound a bit disappointing, in a way it was, but Stockholm had its own charm in the form of rock blasted tunnels! However, have fun finding them!. Due to certain legislation passed by the government, none of the drains are not allowed to discharge into the river under any circumstance, which means no outfalls! At all.

There comes a time in london when you eventually do something just for the sake of it. You know its not going to be interesting or particularly rewarding, its just because its easy and you have nothing else to do that night.

The Magic Door was just a brief glimpse of what the tube had to offer, its treasure there for the taking if you knew where to look. Unlike Paris, little remains in the tube stations of london. The glamorous tiles, signs and decals stripped away to reveal the cold concrete underbelly. Sure the platforms and general structures still exist, but much like a hooker without makeup, its just not as appealing. However small relics and gems are still there to be discovered by the observant traveler.
