Cool looking station
(Info Below is from Wikipedia)Lambeth North is a London Underground station in the neighbourhood of Lambeth, at the junction of Westminster Bridge Road and Baylis Road. It is on the Bakerloo line, between Elephant & Castle and Waterloo, and is in Travelcard Zone 1. It is located at 110 Westminster Bridge Road, and is the nearest tube station to the Imperial War Museum. It closed for maintenance works in July 2016, and reopened in February 2017. As of 2015 it is the least-used Underground station in Zone 1.Designed by Leslie Green, the station was opened by the Baker Street & Waterloo Railway on 10 March 1906, with the name Kennington Road. It served as the temporary southern terminus of the line until 5 August 1906, when Elephant & Castle station was opened. The station's name was changed to Westminster Bridge Road in July 1906 and it was again renamed, to Lambeth North, in April 1917.At 03:56 on 16 January 1941, a German "Satan" 1800 kg general-purpose bomb hit a hostel at nearby 92 Westminster Bridge Road. The shock wave severely damaged the southbound platform tunnel injuring 28 people sheltering there, one of whom died in hospital 15 days later. Thirty-seven rings of the damaged tunnel had to be completely replaced, 15 partially replaced, and 86 feet of platform rebuilt. Traffic through the station resumed after 95 days.There are two tracks in separate tunnels. The station has two lifts and a spiral staircase connecting the street level to platform level (about 70 feet below). Immediately north of the station is a crossover enabling trains to terminate at both platforms. This is necessary for trains that are stabled at the London Road Depot, which can be seen on St George's Street and connects with the Bakerloo line north of the station.The typical service pattern in trains per hour (tph) is:6tph to Harrow & Wealdstone via Queens Park & Stonebridge Park (Northbound)3tph to Stonebridge Park via Queens Park (Northbound)5tph to Queens Park (Northbound)14tph to Elephant and Castle (Southbound)London Buses routes 12, 53, 59, 148, 159, 453 and C10 and night route N109 serve the station.All info above is from the Wikipedia page on Lambeth North tube station.
Our train terminated at Lambeth North station. It gave me time to study the walls and the atmosphere. It was old and dreary. You only realise how old when u do get to spend time on the platform and wonder how it might have been like during the war.
Nice olstation, quick and easy to get to the tube, lift and just a small walk.
One of the south of the river tube stations. No escalator but a lift but dont get too excited as after the lift there is a flight of stairs down to the train which makes one wonder why there is a disabled access gate at the entrance.Externally the station is pretty in parts but has been marred by the addition of bland bad concrete panels and window fittings that look like they came from an end of year sale at Wickes in 1957.One stop south is the Elephant and Castle and one north is Waterloo. The station is billed as access to the Imperial War museum but that august institution is a brisk 10 to 15 walk away. Interestingly the building to the left of the station were originally MI5 offices where Ian Fleming worked and now, allegedly, contain Kevin Spacey and Craig David.
