What’s your favourite London Underground station?

Meet Jonny Fielding, tour guide and author, whose favourite station is Bethnal Green. He first discovered it after moving to London in 1999, simply because he liked the name he spotted in his A–Z. Living just 200 yards away, it quickly became his local station — and where his love of exploring London began.

From the iconic Underground clock and tiny relief sculptures hidden in the tiling, to memories of recording a song on the platform, Bethnal Green is full of fascinating details.

But the station also holds a tragic history. On 3 March 1943, 173 people lost their lives in a crush on the station’s staircase during the Second World War. The tragedy led to changes in the design and safety of Underground stations.

Today, the Stairway to Heaven memorial honours those who died and keeps their stories alive.

Bethnal Green is a station of nostalgia, history, tragedy and resilience.

Looking Into The Darkness

There’s something mesmerising about watching a train emerge from the darkness of a tunnel. Headlights cut through the shadows, carriages sweep around curved platforms, and for a brief moment, the whole scene is transformed by light, movement and colour.

Captured safely from behind the yellow line, these moments show just how dramatic the underground world can be. And there’s a surprise appearance from the Glasgow Subway, too.

Note: these are shot with a zoom lens without a flash. Most are taken from the end of a curved platform so that you can see deep into the tunnel

Abbey Road DLR station has confused so many Beatles fans that TfL installed a sign directing them to the real Abbey Road at St John's Wood, North West London.

So I thought it would be fun to bring the Beatles to East London instead, staging a tiny reunion cutout from a poster.

Shapes of the Underground

Inspired by the quiet choreography of the Underground, I brought dancers and gymnasts into its spaces to explore the relationship between body and architecture and how movement can echo, disrupt, and become part of the geometry surrounding us.

Featured stations: Nine Elms, Piccadilly Circus, Kings Cross St Pancras, Baker Street, Embankment, Canary Wharf, Vauxhall, Waterloo, Lewisham, Bank, Poplar, Westminster, Green Park, Barbican, Bow Road

Favourite Stations - Hanwell

Meet Olivia Jackson, Radio Host, and her favourite station is Hanwell.

The station first opened on 1 December 1883. It was renamed Hanwell and Elthorne in 1896 before returning to the name Hanwell in 1974. Today, this Zone 4 station is served by the Elizabeth line, making it quicker than ever to travel across London.

Olivia loves the station because of its history and vintage feel. Inside, the waiting area feels almost magical, with a cosy chair and a small bookshelf where passengers can pause for a moment away from the rush, reminding her of a scene from the Harry Potter film series.

The station is also convenient for travel, with trains running towards Heathrow Airport, and it was easy for Olivia to catch a flight after finishing her morning show in her previous work place. She even has an embarrassing memory there once, while running late for a train with a coffee in hand, she bumped into someone and spilled it all over them. Luckily, they were on their way home and took it in good humour.

Olivia says her love of trains also comes from childhood nostalgia. She remembers leaning over the backs of the old train seats to chat with passengers behind her, something she now sees her own kids doing today.

There’s something beautiful about the way an arriving train casts light across the station walls, bringing them to life for just a moment. Captured at Holland Park.

40,000 followers on Instagram… wow! I can’t quite believe it.

When I started this journey to photograph every station and stop on the London Underground map, I never imagined it would grow into such a wonderful community.

Thank you to everyone who follows along, likes, shares, comments, or simply enjoys my photographs. Every bit of support means more than you probably realise.

And a special thank you to those who have bought my books, calendars and prints through the Tube Mapper website. Your support helps keep this project going.

I’m excited to continue exploring, photographing and sharing more of London’s Underground with you all.

Thanks for being part of the journey.
