With a thread already in place about one's favourite tube line/train how about one's favourite tube station(s). One of my new found favourites are the Central Line's Wanstead, Gants Hill and Redbridge...which I believe are Charles Holden designs like on the Morden branch of the Northern Line but colour-wise looking more like Highgate. I like how each of those deep ground tube stations have differences from the other two, one looking like the older version of Hounslow West and Hatton Cross along the Piccadilly Line 70's built extension.
Another couple of favourites are Swiss Cottage and Saint John's Wood on the Jubilee Line as they're the strongest reminder that the Baker Street to Stanmore section of the line used to be part of the Bakerloo Line.
The one station I will always have a soft spot for is Morden as its the most southern stop on the underground and where as kids we used to stand on the nearby footbridge to watch the trains enter and leave the depot...something my brother and i also use to observe with the buses by opposite Merton Garage. That was one of the good things about living in Mitcham as the bus and underground depots were not too far away on our bikes.
