A single part question today, however, there are bonus points available for spotting something that shouldn't be there, and also the reason why such a location should be chosen.  *Click for larger version* |

Would it be too silly to say Green Park?

Gants Hill? (Although no idea where the pillar to the left would be from if I'm right).

I think I ruled out HPC straight off as the ramp looks too short for starters.
I also ruled out Dollis Hill which I'm sure is much less tidy.
I don't think it's Green Park but I generally used the stepped entrances so I could be wrong.
It doesn't look right for Gants Hill but I haven't been there for years, I just think the tiling is wrong.
The Roundel is reminiscent of the one at Northwick Park perhaps. I can't help wondering what the significance of the two bars might be or the 'G' which I can't say I've ever noticed before.
Could it be Warwick Avenue? I haven't been there since the late 1980s and I really can't recall anything other than steps there.
One thing is for sure, I don't really have a clue!
Wherever it is I'm drawn towards the Bakerloo or Jubilee lines more than any other part of the combine.

Looks like Gants Hill to me, not sure about the background. The no parking sign must be from one of the depots.

The little sign from one of the seaside boat train terminals on NSE? Maybe Southampton? Or perhaps Weymouth?

Gants Hill for my money, background Valentines Park in Ilford?

Yes! Gants Hill (definitely) and Valentines Park, Cranbrook Road, Ilford.

Between everyone, the answers have been found. First off, the station was Gants Hill: (pgb was first in on PM with this one)  *Click for larger vesion* Gants Hill was chosen as it is the closest station to Valentine's Park, February 14th being Valentines Day....  *Click for larger version* Just on the bottom left of the original, there was an insert, this being Sign on Jubilee Avenue in Weymouth alongside the mothballed Weymouth Quay branch.  *Click for larger version* |

Interesting! I,ve not worked at Gants Hill for many years and I've never seen that subway from within or without the station! Are the others tiled in the same pattern?
Valentine's Park I've never heard of but I heard of Weymouth once or twice, hey ho!

All the subways leading to Gants Hill are tiled in the same disgusting (imho) pattern.
Valentine's Park is probably better known to some of you as "Itchycoo Park"
