Highbury & Islington... looking to Stratford from the eastbound... do notice if you are there, that the Special use only platform, [the opposite side of the island upon which the photographer is standing], still retains its Network SouthEast directional sign which proclaims North Woolwich.

+2 (or is it +3 - I haven't really got my head round this plus thing!) for the NLL platforms at Highbury & Islington (or Highbury 7 Islington as mackenzieblu put it!).
I've a feeling that the bannister rails have now been repainted with Overground orange. This photo certainly doesn't make it look like a very attractive station - but hopefully things will improve when major works happen here as part of the East London Line extension.
Dunno where the concrete pole mounted roundels are though...

The Roundels seem to have you stumped, but everyone seems to have answered the main location: Highbury and Islington - eastbound NLL [stuartpalmer]  Inset:  *Click either picture for a larger version* |

Looks to me as though it was taken at the LT Museum 'Depot' at Acton. No idea about the origin of the sign but would be very interested to know.

The photo was indeed taken at the museum depot. I don't the origin of it, as niehter I nor the person who suggested I take a photo of it (sorry, I can't remember who this was!) could find any labels etc on it.

Pretty much everything in the depot is labelled with its accession number, which is LDTM / followed by a number. This is normally on a paper tie on label (such as those on the sleepers in the background), but can be in pretty much any form the curator of the day decided to use, e.g. written on the back of a poster in pencil.
This number can then be used by staff to retrieve the object record from the museum's database. There are plans to make part of the database public at some point, but for now you will have to ask a member of staff as there are some confidential fields on a record such as the object's insurance value.
If you can't find the accession number, a description and location can also be used. The location codes used are rather more precise than you might think, and locate an area of floor of a few square metres, or a drawer of a filing cabinet. The way that locations are marked varies, for example there are markers at the top of the partitions in the sign store.

I know that everything is labelled, but wasn't able to find where the label was on this object.
I can't remember exactly where it was either, and don't have a plan of the depot to hand, but I think it is (or at least was) at the entrance end of an aisle, either between the trains and buses or the right-hand most aisle of trains (looking towards the far end from the entrance).
