    Maybe my favourite Overground station, if only because it's right next to the Cock Tavern. Yep.

    Hackney Central: Gateway to London or at least it is for me. Hey, it's a train station. It has trains. What more do you want?

    So, this is another one of those modern stations, but this one is like connected to a major…read moreshopping centre, if you basically consider Canary Wharf a shopping centre in its own right. Well, that was certainly the case with this station. It is pretty fancy, and pretty new as well, but I can't really claim that it is a favourite.

    It's confusing to write about Canary Wharf Station now as it's really three stations serving three…read moreseperate lines - the Jubilee and Elizabeth lines, and the DLR (there is a distinction between all three of these some Londoners will insist on making that is technically correct but really just serves to confuse the hell out of non locals) - but all together it's a sprawling set of linked transportation and shopping options unrivaled in London. What Canary Wharf lacks in soul it makes up for in convenience and choice. The whole design is focused around servicing the clinetel of the region, namely white collar business folks who live and work in the area. History was bombed and made obsolete around here so you're not going to find any remenants of the past save the reappropriated docks. But it is quite modern, clean, and bold in its design and feels quite different than anywhere else you'll visit in London. The older Jubille and DLR areas are by far the most useful as they are situated in the middle of a sprawling mall with a variety of good options; you'll find everything from standard convienience like Boots and M&S to more novel offers like the wonderful Tian Tian Market (dedicated to everything East and Southeast Asian cusine) and a local branch of Malin & Goetz. A smaller selection of mostly food options are available at the Elizabeth Line area. Nothing is necessarily architectuarally interesting at any of the areas of the stations per say although they're big, clean, modern and safe. I suppose the Elizabeth Line has a really sort of futuristic strange spaceshiip look to the exterior but you have to pan your eyes away from the fact that one of London's crudiest attempts at Western regional food (Big Easy) is perched up there. There's a least a five minute brisk walk between each of the stations so keep that in mind if you need to switch between them.

    Canary Wharf Station - It's a big blue mouth; nope it's a spaceship or maybe just the escalators, lights and ceiling at Canary Wharf Station, 2023.

    Well, as you could probably tell from this station, it is no doubt near the stadium people go to…read moresee Tottenham Hotspur (though I just checked and it happens to be a half-hour walk, so there are probably easier ways to get there). Once again, it's a nice station, and of course I jumped off here because, well, the trains run quite frequently, and I wanted to check out all of the stations, which I have sort of managed to do.

    I used Tottenham Hale station with it being one of the closest stations to the Tottenham Hotspur…read moreStadium, the new home of Tottenham Hotspur, it is both a National Rail and London Underground interchange station in North London's Zone 3. On a match-day, this place can get really busy, with queuing basically all the way from the stadium at the moment, with the stadium and station not coping very well with large crowds. The station is step-free on the Victoria line which is pretty handy, with other stations including Green Park, Euston, Victoria and Oxford Circus also being on that line, meaning you can basically get one tube from here, from most parts of central London. The buses outside the station weren't set out very well, I struggled to find one to get to the stadium and even the station staff has no idea to go, with this being one of the stations Tottenham Hotspur promote to use and even Transport for London, it's ridiculous the staff were running around like headless chickens, unhelpful and unapologetic. The station seemed clean enough, but it seemed a little scruffy around where they were doing some construction work. The Underground trains are inside the station, and the Overground are separate ticket gates outside which was rather maverick. There were no shops outside the station, but there was a retail park across the way however there wasn't really anything one could get from the retail park easily to take with you on a journey such as drinks and snacks, unless you prefer to eat at one of the fast food outlets including KFC and Subway before-hand. Poorly set out station, with many flaws including its' staffs and how it handles any form of crowds. 1*
