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.

Poplar DLR Station is a key hub on the DLR network and acts as an interchange for 3 of the 6 lines,…read moremeaning it's one of the busiest stations on the network with multiple platforms for different services. It is located right next to a central DLR depot, meaning you can often see parked up trains going in/out of the station. The station is partially sheltered, obviously, it was a nice place to be on a warm, sunny day in London (which is rare) - this is pretty common for most DLR stations though. I also liked how the station gave advance notice of a platform change due to some work going on at the station, even a week before it was due to happen. One of my favourite DLR stations for ease of access, lines and overall view/feel of the station as it is pretty modern indeed! It's also only 2 minutes away to Canary Wharf on the Canary Wharf-Stratford line, where you can easily connect onto Jubilee Line services for London Underground and there are also many shops and restaurants, in a cool part of the city. 4*

It is located a few minutes walk away from Greenwich's main attractions. When leaving the station, turn left and walk down Greenwich High Road. Facility wise there is a small coffee shop and a news stand where you can purchase newspapers, magazines, drinks and snacks for the same price as a newsagent. Another thing which is worth noting is that for some reason the trains here stop all the way down the end of the platform, quite far away from the station entrance which is really quite annoying is if you're running late it means you are likely to miss your train. Get to the station early if you can. I have also once made a complaint to tfl as I was approached by sales people on the platform trying to sell me dental insurance (or something) which made me feel uncomfortable whilst I waited. Credit to tfl and the staff, my complaint was upheld and I haven't seen sales people on the platform since.

Although it doesn't have as many services or platforms as the nearby station, it does serve a useful connection onto the DLR linking east London and you can also get a Southeastern service from here into St Pancras in just 7 minutes, this could be useful for away fans travelling into London via any Euston Road train station and planning to get to the London Stadium, home of West Ham United due to the fact the station is again only a short walk away from the stadium which was pivotal to the 2012 Olympic Games. While there aren't any international services from here anymore, you can head into St Pancras to get the Eurostar where European destinations including Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam are a short journey away. It isn't too exciting of a station and it is a little confusing and even a pointless station to an extent given that it was designed to be a London stop for regional Eurostar services which never came into place, with only Southeastern serving the station now. 2*

But with a little patience and a lot of assistance from Google Maps and politely asking staff or other travelers, it really isn't as crazy as it seems.

Action Town is a major interchange on the District and Piccadilly lines in West London, and is used…read moreby over 5.5 million passengers a year. Opened in 1879 as Mill Hill Park on the extension of the Metropolitan District Railway from Turnham Green to Ealing Broadway, services were gradually augmented with the opening of the line to Hounslow Town in 1883, to Hounslow Barracks (now Hounslow West) in 1884 and South Acton in 1905. The station was rebuilt in 1910 and renamed 'Acton Town'. It was rebuilt again in 1931, in preparation for the Piccadilly line taking over services (from the District Line) to Uxbridge, and with the extension of Piccadilly line services to Hounslow West (now on the Heathrow branch) in 1933. This is one of Frank Holden's famous modernist style stations, with a tall, square ticket hall featuring extensive glazing, above a single storey podium containing shops and other facilities. The platforms also retain the concrete canopies from this period. Alas, these are looking a little tatty now, and the whole station could benefit from a lick of paint. The line to South Acton closed in 1959, and since 1964 the Hounslow West branch has been operated by Piccadilly line trains only (but was extended to Heathrow in 1977). It retains an important function as an interchange, as Piccadilly line trains do not stop at most of the intermediate stations between here and Hammersmith, and it is the junction for the lines north to Ealing Broadway (District) and Rayners Lane/Uxbridge (Piccadilly) and west to Heathrow (Piccadilly). The station is served by the E3 bus, and by buses 70, 207, 427, 440 and night buses N7, N11 and N207 in nearby Harrow Road

Taking the train is a much better option. The station gets busy, as you'd expect. We took an early morning train out of Euston in order to catch the bus and make our 9:45 am check-in for the VIP tour. Getting off the train, you're immediately greeted by signage guiding you to the studio's bus line. And note to all those arriving early - the very first bus leaving Watford Junction is for Studio employees only. There are two benches under a small shelter, which doesn't do much to block the wind on a blustery day. But, they run the buses on a tight schedule, which means you can count on them showing up when they say they're going to be there (schedules are posted inside the shelter for reference). You have to have your confirmation information handy in order to get on the bus and pay £5 (for two people) for the round-trip ticket. The really nice thing is the studio keeps a running track of shuttle departures, which makes it easy to plan your escape from the bustle. Definitely the best option for transport to the studio, if you're not driving on your own and if you're not taking the bus out of London.
