The Bakerloo seems to have done OK from Waterloo Sunset to Warwick
Avenue via Baker Street (and you could add the Lambeth (North) Walk I
suppose. I can't recall any other line getting similar treatment?

The BBC have a rehearsal studio in Delaware Road, which was where many
Peel Sessions were recorded, including the Can song "Up The Bakerloo
Line With Anne".

Siouxsie & The Banshees did a song called "Circle" which has many
Underground line references.

And, as I mentioned the other week, Bob Mould did an album called
"District Line".

The song that I think you're quoting also has the line "Ten stops from
Golders Green, change at Camden Town" If I remember correctly. (That's
not a given.)

"Finchley Central
Ten long stations
From Golders Green, change at Camden Town."

Surely a bus would have been quicker?

Yes indeedy... well so sez journey planner at least (18 mins compared
to at least 29 mins via the tube). Perhaps the 82 bus wasn't quite as
good back then, and the 460 was just a figment of someone's
imagination.

645 or 660 trolleybus? Until January 1962 at least.

Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine's '24 Minutes from Tulse Hill' has the
rarer distinction of being a song about a London BR station (or service,
in fact - the Sutton - London Bridge one). And in that neighbourhood, i
don't know if you count 'The Indestructible Beat of South Norwood' as
being related to the station or the township, er, neighbourhood.

This question gets asked occasionally; we really ought to compile a
comprehensive list.

The guys on ILM have tried:

But sadly the guys on ILM are all congenital syphilitics. An unidentified
human or humans have done well:

And i'm positive Inspiral Carpets got their name from a French magazine
article about Holloway Road ...
