My knowledge of the London Underground mostly involves how to get from Euston to the British Museum. Though when I stayed with a friend in Edgware for a bit and went up and down the Northern Line I discovered there’s a TARDIS by the tracks around Colindale. Of course that was just before New Who came on TV, so I guess it’s in use again now.
On those rare occasions I ride the tube I find I have an urge to get speakers out and play ‘Going Underground’ by the Jam. Or in fact any song that features an Underground station, Waterloo has two.

My occasional jaunts up to our capital city are nearly always because of a specific event: a concert, an exhibition, sometimes both, as recently when I visited the RA Summer Exhibition in the afternoon and the Serpentine Sessions at Hyde Park in the evening, so just exploring for the sheer hell of it isn’t something I’ve ever done, though the thought has occurred to me from time to time. I usually use an Oyster card, but that can mount up over a lot of journeys. Reading the above ^^ has encouraged me though, so I’m going to take some time off soon, catch a coach or train up, buy a travel card and just wander around London with my camera, perhaps using the Urban Magic books as a route planner.
