June Quiz - Day 6

Hmm, I reckon either London Bridge, or somewhere on the JLE, but I'm going with London Bridge for now!

Dunno why; but I'm thinking Canada Water ELL, somewhere.

I change my answer to Canary Wharf! ;D

Glou. Road - platform for Art installations???

It's the floor that gets me - you wouldn't have a floor like that in a station. Nor would you have a photo display in a station unless it was a special exhibit, or as Artery said, a Platform for Art thing.

It definitely does look very JLE-style, and London Bridge comes to mind because of the brickwork. But having said that, off the top of my head, the Jubilee platforms at London Bridge don't have brick walls.

I'm almost beginning to wonder if this is a mock-up at Aldwych or something like that, but that's so unlikely I'm going to rule it out just because of that.

It definitely looks like a mock-up... I'm going to withdraw my idea of London Bridge for now. I'd stick with it, but I honestly can't think of anywhere at that station where there's a floor like that. I'm more inclined to go with Artery's suggestion, but I don't think the light's right for that location. Just a hunch...

At an Art Gallery? The Tate Modern?

The Design Museum?

Could it possibly be the Museum depot in Acton?

As it has been a day since the last comment, I'll put you out of your misery now.

First of all well done to pgb, who was the first to correctly identify this as a mockup station. Antharro used some excellent logic in his post, and indeed it is a mockup of a JLE station (I'll not say which as I have other photos I might use in future months).

David (UD)'s speculation that this could be an event a disused station is a good thought, but not correct in this instance. I've not had the pleasure of visiting Charing Cross, Aldwych or the EOR.

Finally Prakash gets a mention because (possibly more by luck than judgement) his suggestion of Waterloo is the closest Underground station (West India Quay DLR is closer, but off-topic for this forum) to where this mockup is located, in the Museum In Docklands.

If anyone is interested in the history of the Docklands area, then I can certainly recommend a visit, but be prepared to spend at least a day going round. www.museumindocklands.org.uk/

There's a museum in Docklands!! ;D

I seriously had no idea, but will definitely be paying a visit.

You don't do the things that are on your doorstep. I've lived about 10 minutes walk from the Cheddar showcaves since 1991. I've had the full tour of one of them once, and a whistle-stop tour of the other when I applied for a job with the Caves that I didn't get.
