Is that a clue to make me think of Finsbury Park? It has a Victoria line feeling to it.

How about the catchy Bethnal Green? Unless...if the LO counterpart is counted in the clue of "not served by LO"

Bethnal Green would not be ruled out by the LO clue as they are separate stations. However you have gone east rather than north.

As the person who took this picture, it was fun watching everyone slowly make their way towards the correct answer. I'm glad I was able to provide a picture that took that many guesses to find. (For context, this picture was taken while there was escalator refurbishment going on which meant I had to use the stairs. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to grab a few unusual pictures such as this. It was also the same day that I got the pictures for this question which as well as being one of the first things I submitted to the quiz is also one of my favourites.)

I must say though, the stainless steel bar really confused me within the angled mirror which made me assumed it was a lift HAHAHAH. It is rare to see a station like Kentish Town being featured haha

355 of 427 current TfL stations (83%) have had their most recent appearance in the last 365 days (346 (81%) in 2020), for all locations in the database (i.e. inluding "between" locations, depots, etc) the figires are 609 (65%) and 592 (63%) respectively. For current stations the average maximum duration between appearances is 292.36 days. Kentish town previously appeared on 28 October 2019, 404 days before this question.

I always love it when you give us these detailed stats, Chris.
