Looks very East London Line-y.
Rotherhithe.

Yep East London -ish but I'm not sure. I think perhaps it's made to look that way.
If on the ELL I reckon it can only be one side of the river or the other from the state of the brickwork so Wapping or Rotherhithe but it could well have changed since the last time I was there some 20 years ago.
On the other hand it could just as well be somewhere on the H&C though I really don't know as it looks too damp and dirty for anywhere I can think of.

Where ever that is, it looks like a ream gem of a sign, to have survived virtually unscathed all this time. It looks distinctively 'LMS Rly' in design.

I'd go with Barking as well... Anyone know what a PASSENCER is btw? ;D Be warned, the following contains a large amount of 'anorakhood' If it is Barking - then it will be an LMS 'G' which in turn comes from the L&NWR 'G'. L&NWR cast letters were designed by Webb, and are very distinctive, partly because of the 'G' - much less pronounced horizontal than the GWR <ptui > 'G'. I only know this because I had to help someone sort out a cellarful of cast iron letters, by the end of it he could play 'Lawn Scrabble' in 2", 3", 4.5" sizes for English, 5" for Welsh. There were the best part of a thousand individual cast-iron letters, pointing fingers and punctuation marks.  |

This is the Eastbound District Line platform (platform 2) at Barking.
Colin was the first in with the correct answer by PM.
