For those who find things here too easy, where's this? Please will T/ops voluntarily exclude themselves for the time being?  |

Please will T/ops voluntarily exclude themselves for the time being? I can happily exclude myself on the grounds that I've no idea!  |

LOL, It's like the pic has been posted upside down, I suppose the clues are the sunlight, and the curved wood paneling.

So, if it's upside down, where is it?
And if it's not, where is it?

Ah! I see the reason for requesting T/Ops to hold back, I reckon TOK will get this.

I'm going for Notting Hill Gate, which is doubtless incorrect.

There are only four barrel-vaulted roofs left on the SSL, and they are all at Met stations: Notting Hill Gate, Bayswater, Gloucester Road and Paddington Praed Street.
The picture is not Bayswater or Gloucester Road, because the barrel-vaulted roof only covers the ticket hall at both locations. I don't think it's Paddington, because the open portion of the roofs have moderately tall buildings standing on top of the tunnel portals at both entrances, and because for some reason I can't seem to remember there being any semi-opaque inserts in either segment of the roof at Paddington.
The only part of the picture that confuses me is the dark section, which is at odds with the light streaming in through the semi-opaque roof segments. Notting Hill Gate's roof has a sand-coloured brick wall at the closed end of the roof; Bayswater and Gloucester Road have whitewashed walls, and Paddington has brick walls too.
I say it's Notting Hill Gate, with some sneaky photchopping.

who said it was a station that still had a barrel vaulted overallroof?
Suddenly Barbrican and other Inner Circle stations spring to mind who have had their roofs removed.
I am going to say... Kings Cross, the old station not the current one. I'm not sure why i just felt like it, lol.
With the pic taken from the old CWL platforms? Probably wrong but i had a guess, lol.
