Upton Park backwards is Krap Not Pu.
This isn't Upton Park, but it is another 'Krap' station.

Do I remember correctly that "Park" is the most popular ending for London Underground stations? It certainly feels like it at the moment as it's not there either! There is a hint in the currently running misleading information thread.

Tennis would be better than the current ping pong which is occurring. Hint.

Answer: Wimbledon Park - station roof [Chris M] (click image for a larger version) The brick top to the stone chimney intrigues me. There are parts of the building built from brick and others from stone, was the brick a later addition?

The brick top to the stone chimney intrigues me. There are parts of the building built from brick and others from stone, was the brick a later addition? No, they are all bricks, but two different colours have been used. Yellow/brown "London Stock" bricks are very common in Victorian buildings in London - my own house has them. They are often used in combination with "brick red" bricks for decorative effect. The different colours arise from the chemical composition of the different clays from which they are made. An example from the Interweb (not my house) - note the red brick courses level with the top and bottom of the upper storey windows. i.pinimg.com/originals/1b/be/23/1bbe23ed64129cd4cb76bb1a98b6d168.jpg

Ah, thanks.
So that bizarre chimney top is an intentional architectural feature of the building's original design.
And people moan about modern architecture!
