Could that be "West Kensington East Junction" - or, to you and me, the bit where the Olympia branch diverges from the main District line. Er, the two tracks in the foreground are the Olympia branch (eastbound on the left, westbound on the right), with the junction with the main District line in the background. Kensington (Olympia) is behind us, West Kensington right-ish and Earl's Court left-ish.

Looks very rural for Kensington. I would've thought that the junction where central line trains from Chigwell and roding valley rejoin the southbound line to woodford was more likely. arun

West Kensington East Junction + 1. The West London Line is behind the trees above the retaining wall on the left.

I also think it's the junction at Lillie Bridge between the District Main Line and the (older) Olympia branch. It can't be Roding Valley:
- The further line appears to be curved, as it would be for the junction under Lillie Bridge, whereas the main line at Roding valley junction is straight - the tracks on both converging lines appear to be splaying apart - as they do on the approach to Earls Court because of the grade separation. - the gantry is the wrong shape for Roding Valley - unless the photographer was using a drone, there is no structure across the line at the Roding Valley junction from which the picture could be taken. The picture is surely taken from the bridge carrying the A4 Talgarth Road over the Olympia branch (and also over the West London Line out of shot to the left, and over the connection to Lillie Bridge depot out of shot to the right)
